Introduction to the Theory of Gender
Gender before the 1900's was something undefined at all. The origin of roles were first established in the place where prejudices and ideologies are first formed - households. Families are small units made up of people joined by birth, marriage, adoption or mutual consent and who offer each other economic, social and emotional support. Defining what role each specific member will play and how family resources are to be distributed often establish tension and conflict.
The term we all know now as family originates from the latin word familus meaning "A Man and his Servants" This serves to illustrate the historical fact that throughout the majority of ancient times woman were seen as simply being property of their husbands. This term there on defined that men were the head of the house while woman were obliged to submit to doing all the cooking, cleaning, raising of children and household work.
The ideal in which this term went on to reflect on the social economy of the Nation is that it established a relationship of households to the ideal that women and men outside of the home were also to be treated unequal as was considered to be only natural to assume.
Then and Now
Prior to the spread of the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, before mass production and wage labor touched the lives of the majority of people ( In the West), families grew their own food, made their own clothes, and crafted the items used in daily life. During the Eras before Industrial Revolution family life was as simple as where you lived was where you worked. Unlike the world we live now of Supply and demand economic activity in the pre-industrial era was for use rather than exchange. In other words, through much of humanities history home and economy was one and the same. As a contrast to to our modern perspective of society now however, in which the development of industrial Era has revolutionized the term families as to being patriarchal and work unremitting - making women and children have little to no say over their fates and survival no longer being assured but dependent on the labor done from dawn until nighttime.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries changes in the feudal economy occurred. Due to the establishment of property rights of land that occurred firstly in England - Agricultural unemployment soared drastically. This event was significant in that as families lost their traditional rights to work more and more they were pushed to depend on the system of annual wages to depend on in order to buy the things they once had to make.
Through the course of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century the world had transitioned fully from the traditional norms of farms and home production to the rise of living in towns and cities varying in Europe and places in the United States.
