2 Paragraph History Question

I’m working on a history question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

4) Discuss Patriarchy as a hegemonic idea and major colonial legacy that would continue to matter to the modern era. Discuss how patriarchy functioned, how it was justified (including the religious arguments), the role of “honor” in perpetuating it and the consequences of patriarchy for colonial society. In what ways would this matter for the modern era? Be sure to bring in examples like Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz and the other examples Chasteen provides in ch’s 3 and 4 as well as our short article “What Independence Meant for Women” by Sarah Chambers. (Study hints: Chasteen’s ch.3 AND 4 for how much patriarchy changed or not after independence, Sarah Chambers’ article, our film “I, the Worst of All”).
