Miyake - Interesting facts of the lecture

[Eva Morales]

I found the whole lecture fascinating. What really drew my attention was the fact that the gender-differentiated spheres. I didn’t know that women had to wear 24 layers of clothing. I knew that women needed to be modest, but this seems excessive. The whole walking on their knees for the sake of being able to go from one place to the other with their garments seems excessive. Another thing that drew my attention was that women were very sheltered. I can’t even imagine not being able to go out for walks or go hiking. Women were in a way prisoners of their homes.
