Housewives’ Role in Society in the 20th Century. In society, for many centuries now, a stereotype for women was created, which is that their only purpose in life is to support and care for their family. However, beginning in the 19 th century, women began wanting more than this, and many decided to reject their role as housewives to attain more in life. Soon, these ideas started being reflected in literature. Karen Van Der Zee’s “A Secret Sorrow” and Gail Godwin’s “A Sorrowful Woman” are two works that portray the lives of women who were part of a society that forced them to comply with their designated role. Both narratives demonstrate the expected position of women in society, but do so from different points of view. “A Secret Sorrow” shows a woman that desires to fit the housewife stereotype, and is unable to; on the other hand, “A Sorrowful Woman” depicts the life of a mother who could not accept her position and role, which she perfectly fit in to, and rebelled against it. Today, women have a very different role in society than they did a century ago. Now, it is common to see mothers and wives who are professionals, working for the government or in public service, and at the same time fulfilling their role in their homes. This is a result of a reformation that took place in the 19 th and 20 th centuries, where women whose only task and purpose was to be in the house craved for more opportunities in life. And the problem often came when they could not conform to the stereotype because of physical impediments; for example, Van Der Zee writes about one who knows what her role should be but can’t fit in because “she can’t give…children…can’t get pregnant” (pg. 33), and therefore, could not become a “true” mother. However, the women in the two stories where not left to carry their own burdens alone, they both were deeply loved and cared for by their husbands. Faye, the protagonist in “A Secret Sorrow,” doesn’t want her lover to marry her out of compassion, and wants him to have his own children, which she can’t give him. After meditating on the idea, Kai approaches to her and tells her “I love you, not your procreating ability. So, we have a problem, we’ll learn to deal with it…” (pg. 35). Similarly, we can see in “A Sorrowful Woman” that the husband repeatedly understands her fluctuating ideas and manages to adapt seeing how his wife gradually confines herself and pushes the family away. The picture portrayed by both authors is not one where the women are oppressed or underestimated by their spouses; they are loved unconditionally and supported all along, but this only seems to put more pressure on them, pushing them away even more. The two husbands act in similar ways in both accounts, but the situations surrounding the two situations are contrary to each other. Fay in “A Secret Sorrow” has a desire to fit in and fulfill the societal role of married women; however, her physical condition prevents her from doing so. She can’t have children and her desire for his success is greater; hence, she believes that he should not marry her. She confesses being “afraid to marry (Kai)” (pg. 33), fearing that if he commits to her out of compassion only, their relationship will simply fade with time. Eventually, they overcome this obstacle and in the end, they get married and adopt three children. However, Fay’s premarital ideas have not yet faded; “they don’t even look like us…not even a tiny bit” (pg. 38), she told her husband, who, with his usual loving optimism, answered, “They are true originals, like their mother. I wouldn’t want it any other way.” A caring and loving husband also plays a big role in “A Sorrowful Woman,” but unlike Fay, his wife perfectly fulfilled the role, but didn’t want the position. In the story, she feels trapped by her responsibilities and duties as a wife and mother, and wants an alternative, only “the sight of them (husband and son) made her so sad and sick she did not want to see them ever again” (pg. 39). The first thing she tries is to leave her responsibilities as a housewife, passing them on to her husband who wakes it with “pleasure” (pg. 39). After doing so, however, she still feels trapped and proceeds to withdrawing herself to a room, where she puts on “an old sweater she loved at school” (pg.

    Institut de Drets Humans / Facultat de Dret Doctor’s degree in Human rights, democracy and international justice TACKLING RACISM SERIOUSLY HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE UNDERPINNINGS OF ETHNIC RECOGNITION Doctoral thesis Author Supervisor Pier-Luc Dupont Ángeles Solanes Corella València, May 2017 Because they are rational creatures, sailors go to sea with the calculations already done; and all rational creatures go out on the sea of life with their minds made up on the common questions of right and wrong, as well as on many of the much harder questions of wise and foolish. And we can presume that they will continue to do so long as foresight continues to be a human quality. Whatever we adopt as the fundamental principle of morality, we need subordinate principles through which to apply it. John Stuart Mill It is important to be quite careful before seeing any tension between equality and liberty. Tension exists only when we specify conceptions of these broad terms that cannot peacefully coexist. Perhaps such incompatible conceptions cannot be defended. Perhaps the best conceptions of equality are entirely compatible with the best understandings of liberty. Cass Sunstein Neither in interpreting statutes nor precedents are judges confined to the alternatives of blind, arbitrary choice, or ‘mechanical’ deduction from rules with predetermined meaning. Very often their choice is guided by an assumption that the purpose of the rules which they are interpreting is a reasonable one, so that the rules are not intended to work injustice or offend settled moral principles. HLA Hart Rights is the child of law; from real law come real right; but from imaginary laws, from ‘laws of nature’, come imaginary rights… Natural rights is simple nonsense […], nonsense upon stilts.

As you may know and certainly will experience, Amsterdam is a city of water, with more than 100 km of canals. Water is therefore the leading theme in the design products of this conference. It stands for transparency, but also for movement, and thereby represents two major aims of Social Psychology in the coming years. EASP keeps attracting a growing number of researchers who want to present their research to colleagues. We received a total of 154 proposals for symposia, 628 proposals for individual talks and 261 proposals for posters, adding up to a total 1043 submissions. Compared with the 960 submissions in Stockholm this is again an increase and makes the composition of an interesting and inspiring scientific program all the more challenging. The program committee has worked with great dedication to achieve this aim. The final program consists of 12 parallel sessions, including 101 symposia and 61 thematic sessions (each consisting of up to 5 individual presentations) and 696 posters that will be presented in 6 different poster sessions. In addition, we will have the traditional round table sessions during lunch break, the award session and the Tajfel lecture, all held in the Aula.

Welcome to IAIR 2015 Bergen!!! Conference Chair’s welcome It is my greatest pleasure to welcome you the 9th Biennial Conference of IAIR. This conference has been designed with several goals in mind: share your ideas, learn from each other and develop networks for collaboration. But, by all means catch-up with old colleagues and make new ones during the conference! The theme for this conference “Realizing the potential of cultural diversity” was inspired by the sad events of July 22, 2011, when over 70 innocent people were massacred in the name of fighting multiculturalism in Europe. The news was just breaking when my plane landed in Singapore for the Academy’s 7th Biennial Congress. The horrors of the events shattered my view of Norway as a peaceful harmonious society. As an intercultural relations researcher, I could clearly see how cultural diversity can be misconstrued and lead to such atrocities. Thus, I strongly embraced the idea of hosting such a conference in Norway, to show the world that cultural diversity has a lot to offer societies. It is my hope that as we deliberate, share ideas and research findings about cultural diversity these discussions can readily be translated into positive actions! Beyond the conference, I hope you will use the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the city: take a hike up one of the several mountains surrounding the city; take a boat ride to see the fjords.
