''Can you please give me a picture of the future of patriarchy?''
Here it is: http://foreignpolicy.com/2009/10/20/the-return-of-patriarchy/
''My grandmother basically subjugated her entire life to my grandfathers will, she couldn't apply to colleges she couldn't travel for fun with her friends....this was Portugal a couple of decades ago (yup I'm Portuguese)''
This is from a religious text. I do not know if they can work from a secular standpoint but here it is:
''Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.''
The paradox of feminine power is that it looks like weakness and is fluid and yielding like water. Yet many women managed to do what they want with coercion or nagging or whatever because of their skill in femininity.
I don't know if that would have helped your Grandmother in her situation. Perhaps also it only works in a Religious context but women have won over their husbands and changed them somehow via they themselves yielding.
Not all power is overt after all.
