I'm not sure if this is from the Renaissance time period, but I thought it pertains to the subject. I read an article for another class here at UMD and it shows a different point of view. The article was about an woman who part white and part Laguna Pueblo Native American. She shares part of her heritage in the article and the history of the Laguna Pueblo people. The basis of the culture is that the great creator is a woman. The story of creation goes like this:
Tse'its'i'nako, Thought Woman, the Spider, thought of her three sisters and they came into being. Together they thought of the sun, moon, and the stars. The mother creators imagined the earth, the oceans, the animals, and the people...As Thought Woman and her sisters thought of it, the whole universe came into being.
Not bad for three women huh?
Also in the Laguna Pueblo culture, no jobs were "woman's jobs," or "men's jobs." The most able person did the job. The strong sturdy women were admired. Women in their 40's and 50's built the houses. Men did the basket making and wove fabrics. Because their creator was female, there is specialty to being female. Gender is not used to control behavior. This is just one aspect of their culture that gives us a different perspective on how women were treated around the world.
