Discussion of Treatment of Women in _Their Eyes Were Watching God_

So we're back from our break from the blog, and we are looking at Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. I want you to discuss (with text support) some of the ways women are treated in the text, and what Hurston's trying to say about the treatment of women. Try to make your responses around 400 words or so. Due on Monday, April 2nd.
