Why do you study GWS/why is it important to you?
I study Gender and Women’s Studies because it is interesting to learn
about gender and its history of where expectations and roles surrounding men
and women emerged. These expectations guide the way in which people view one
another and thus allows me to study and analyze the reasoning as to why certain
behaviors are viewed the way they are. GWS is also interesting because I learn
of the struggles endured by women, but most importantly the rise and of women’s
rights to a variety of things such as jobs and the continuous achievements in
today’s society. Therefore, gaining knowledge about gender and how society
continues to dictate expectations and roles of every human being is essential which
is why I study Gender and Women’s studies.
