What cultural differences can be observed in the roles of girls and boys growing up in Samoa in the 1920s compared to Madhya Pradesh in the 1960s?
In Samoa in the 1920s, both boys and girls shared responsibilities like caring for younger siblings, but as they aged, gendered roles diverged. Boys learned outdoor jobs such as fishing, while girls continued domestic tasks. Girls, however, gained more freedom as teenagers, participating in fishing and working in plantations. Conversely, in Madhya Pradesh in the 1960s, boys and girls attended separate schools, with girls' activities heavily monitored in a secluded courtyard, emphasizing gender segregation and the protection of girls from public spaces.
How does the experience of growing up in Samoa differ from that in Madhya Pradesh for boys and girls?
