During the Industrial age and the Revolutions, the roles of men and women were similar to what we seen in other historica events. As usual, men were the “heads” of the household where women had their own responsibilities to upkeep. Although, the industrialization and industrial revolution “redefined the roles of women” in the household. Many opportunities opened up for women as well as “new opportunities for them as industrial wage earners”. This set up our Kahiau Project topic because we still see this common occurrence today. Women have many more opportunities but there is still the stigma separating them from men as we see in past history. Understanding these things in history can help us to prepare for the future. Looking back at the different cultural events that we have studied we can see a common theme of women being put in a “box” and following the same “lines”. Connecting to Hawaiʻi and knowing all of those cultural aspects will help us to look and navigate solutions to our problems here. In our hawaiian culture, women were also given their own kuleana, different from the men. Men and women were also separated in some cases but they also do have similar tasks. Coming back to present day Hawaiʻi, we can learn from these things and navigate solutions by doing the opposite of what the “gender norms” state. Citations
