The
Looking Glass Self & the Iron Jawed Angels
I. What are the tenets of Cooley's looking glass
self? Briefly discuss.
[ 1. two way socialization
2. messages
overdetermine our behavior
3. we experience
2-way socialization (from others & from ourselves)
4. we develop
feeling based on these messages
5. we have
a reservoir of feelings / self image
6. bad messages
should get diluted in the reservoir of good messages
7. we need
good messages for a successful upbringing
8. excessive
criticism can lead to low self esteem ]
II. Apply these to the suffrage leaders in the Iron
Jawed Angels, e.g. what messages did they receive from society & what
messages did they give themselves?
III. Describe the messages in the reservoir of the
Iron Jawed Angels
IV. What is the level of self esteem of the Iron
Jawed Angels?
