Creole Women In American Culture

As the days go by rugged women are challenging the Creole culture by becoming more independent. In the Creole culture, that takes place here in Louisiana, “men are seen as dominant” and can be possessive and controlling of their wife. As the rights of women progress in America the social changes within the creoles change. Within society most women have stopped being those “who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands, and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals,” but they are now women who focus on themselves rather than following the influence of their husbands. (pg.10) Today for women there is a new sense of individuality and purpose for women to live their own lives. With this, there is hope for a new society
where women can be seen as not only equals but thrive within their community and seek out brand new opportunities that weren't available before.
