    2014 Cultural Changes for Women in the Postwar World Women are powerful creatures and feminism in the post war world proves this. During the war women were given the jobs that were left by the men off at war. In the Soviet Union women were even fighting in the war. The war did not last forever and soon the men came back to work and the women were sent back to their previous domestic life styles. Many women were not happy about this.

    My cultural event is The Color Purple. Not only did I see the show but I was involved in the production. I was assigned to be a crew member‚ which allowed me to view the show from back stage. As an African American I felt as though this play was a great example of some of our cultural background. From the script to the scenery‚ this show dealt with many dynamics of African American’s (Black people) around the early 1900’s. The play also explores how life was in Africa during this time period.
