  • Hmong Traditional Marital Roles and the Pursuit of Higher Education for Married Hmong American Women
    1 Hmong Traditional Marital Roles and the Pursuit of Higher Education for Married Hmong American Women by Mai Shoua Khang A Research Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science Degree in . School Counseling Approved: 2 Semester Credits Dr. Beatrice A. Bigony The Graduate School Urliversity of Wisconsin-Stout May, 2010 2 The Graduate School University of Wisconsin-Stout Menomonie, WI Author: Khang, Mai Shoua Title: Hmong Traditional Marital Roles and the Pursuit ofHigher Education for Married Hmong American Women Graduate Degree/ Major: MS School Counseling Research Adviser: Beatrice Bigony, Ph.D. Month/Year: May, 2010 Number of Pages: 60 Style Manual Used: American Psychological Association, 6th edition Abstract The patriarchal traditional Hmong culture has defined expectations for both Hmong men and women. In Laos, education and employment 0ppOliunities were restricted to sons who were more valued than daughters. Since the immigration of the Hmong to the United States, education and employment have become accessible to Hmong women. However, traditional Hmong gender roles and values continue to be strong practices impacting Hmong women negatively in regard to their educational pursuits. Young married Hmong women who are expected to fulfill their obligations as new wives and daughters-in-law often delay or discontinue their educational plans. This researcher found reoccurring themes in literatures regarding the relationship between Hmong women's traditional gender roles and their abilities to obtain higher education. This researcher also interviewed nine married Hmong women informants who were pursuing their education. Reoccurring themes expressed by the informants were compared to the existing literature on Hmong women's gender roles and challenges.
