Journal #7: Reframing When I came across the topic of reframing in this week’s readings, I immediately thought of myself, and the way I tend to handle difficult and/or stressful situations. Unfortunately, when something doesn’t go my way, I tend to become irritated and ask myself why I have such bad luck. Recently, however, I have noticed myself reframing issues, even when I had never heard of this as a topic before reading chapter 10. For instance, in the beginning of the school year at USC,…

I really enjoyed this week’s readings. Colonial women had a different life than I expected, especially the rights granted to them as widows. Women still had traditional roles as mothers and homemaker, and the patriarchal society still ruled. Yet as married women, the husbands had all the control and ownership, but as widows, the women held their own power.
