BROOK FARM
At Brook Farm, women were empowered and encouraged to showcase their creativity. They did have tasks that were typical of other women at the time such as simple food preparation, and shared house keeping. However, during the harvest time women were allowed to work in the fields and men even helped out with laundry during the cold weather. One of the best things for women at Brook Farm was the fact that no single religion could impose its beliefs on the community. This kept women safe from the typical patriarchy associated with religion at the time. Women were allowed to go to school and because of the well known education of women at Brook Farm, many female writers and performers visited the farm.
