Zack, Jordan and I, all seem to agree that things have definitely changed over the years as to how woman are looked at in modern days. Zack says, "woman do not have to give up what they want to do" I think this is really important, in the fact that woman more than ever are working towards their own career goals, not leaving them to solely rely on the man of the house. Jordan mentioned in her post that she "thinks there are still men that believe women should be seen not heard" and I would agree with that, having a different culture (coming from out of state and up north), I see some things that are different down here and I think that some old fashioned southerners still have that mentality down here. Not all of course, but you can see how some people act in public and it gives off that impression.
I actually found this assignment more interesting as I researched then I thought I would, no seriously. Karen van der Zee has lived a very exciting life, full of traveling. Traveling to places I can only dream of, like Amsterdam, Kenya, and Ghana are just a few. Along the way of these adventures she met her husband, in Amsterdam and married him in Rome, he was also what she referred to as a "globe trotting american". From reading her blog information about her life here , she sounds like such a free spirited person, eventually having three children of her own. She writes heavily in the romance style, which is what I would consider her "A Secret Sorrow" to be, I do believe that her own romance is portrayed through this story, because she made the love Kai and Faye had so strong that they were able to have each other, and love each other enough, to not let the fact that Faye cannot bear a child get in the way of their relationship. I do not know if it is a coincidence...
