Rebellious Women



Does a woman cutting her hair constitute rebellion? In some cultures it does.



What describes a rebellious woman?

What would she be rebelling against?

Is it worse if she is a mother?

Sane/insane mad, crazy etc...

Victorian times women who did not conform to the social norms were labelled "insane" and placed in asylums. Has much changed since then? in as much as why someone would
be seen as rebelling...and the reactions of society towards that person.

I suppose there are lots of instances that may be regarded as rebellion and justified in the name of religion or social acceptability.
