1. If the media had been more involved in the working class women's lives, I think the feminist movement would have taken advantage of this resource. They would have used the media to do more to gain awareness of what they were struggling for. As far as impacting the movement, more women would have jumped on the band wagon with it. They would have been able to get across more ways for women to get involved. I am not sure what duties women would have been able to gain by using the media, but I think they would have been able to get more of the messages across they were trying to, not just the  messages they got across by word of mouth. I am curious to see not only how it affected the women during this time, but more of how it affected the men and how they thought of it. I also think it might have been over played to where when people see that commercial they change the channel because they've seen it so much they've memorized it.

2. Women that could have been silenced could have been women who didn't push the envelope enough to get their own message out. I know some people who will so persistent to the point of annoyance, but in the end I remembered them. I think women in the feminist movement who were that persistent saw results they wanted to. I think if the voices of those women who were silenced were heard, more awareness could have been made. not necessarily changes made but more ideas put into more peoples heads and if in the right minds, thoughts could have been put forth to make changes. I think as far as communication goes, women around the world would be able to relate and put forth the same message and possibly work together to make a change. Maybe women's rights wouldn't be as strict in places or as lax in others. There might be more of a mix of rights, but for some countries that plays into religion as well.

3. I do not think women get depressed because they are not helping out the family. Without them doing their job at home, the family wouldn't be able to function. I feel that, not just in domestic work, that mothers are the glue to a family. I do not know if it is a biological or societal thing, but mothers in every experience I have been close to, the mother's have been the glue making sure the family runs smoothly. Not that fathers don't care because they do, but mothers have gained the instinct, no matter how much the father helps out, to do everything in their power to perfect her family in her own eyes.
