As Clara tells Praxis’ story, she perceives family as an excuse for negligence sometimes. According to the story, as it can be figured, by portraying the clearest at its moment the 50s. The story is relating the gender role and the view of females, it reveals the explicit cruelty and impasse of women during the time. The struggle Clara has against the social norms surrounding marriage and motherhood is a contrast and comparison to Clara’s mother’s strike against domestic labor. Ultimately, Clara and her mother gain independence, as this is the result of moving to Florida and participating in the strike against domestic labor, even though they are not immediately successful in achieving their stated objective.

Meanwhile, Eric’s support for Clara during her pregnancy creates the spark in Clara’s mind that ultimately allows her to challenge norms surrounding motherhood and marriage. This allows her to become independent. In this fictional instance, Clara and her mother strike in a context that overlaps with the second wave of feminism, and both actions have significant significance. In addition, the story takes place during the second world war, as women are all house-wife, and general rule forces them to become the slave under the name of the wife of someone, which most women were enlightened and tend to fight for independently of women. It may seem like nothing at the time but it impacts the thought and common-sense of people over the time.

What Clara and her mother did was a small impact on the thought of everyone at that time which could possibly change their view on the gender role. They are helping to create a building block for the foundation of the future which is equality in gender.
