thinking about how low-key disturbing captain spirit is (positive).

like, the way the Water Eater and Mantroid sequences are genuinely freaky as hell. the way Emily is haunting a house she never lived in with the sheer force of her absence and the mystery of her death that'll never be solved (unlike Rachel Amber, despite the fact they're Blackwell alumni with similar physical traits). the way indoor sequences are dominated by Charles getting increasingly more aggressive towards the tv/more intoxicated in the background, until he's unconscious and then it's the countdown until the shitshow when he wakes up. that weird fucking evangelist. the way you randomly get an option to violently kill an imaginary supervillain while he begs for mercy. the fact that you figure out what Mantroid actually represents right when you realize you can't defeat him.

little details like the newspaper clipping about Esteban's murder or the fucking Jefferson book as a reminder that as dangerous as this house is, the world outside isn't much better. how both the dialogue and internal monologue dance around how untenable this situation is, and how you never get an option to directly confront Charles about what he did or explicitly tell Claire what's going on. the way that even when Claire figures out there's a problem, she'll still leave Chris in the house with Charles. the fact that Chris's superhero persona provides a coping mechanism while potentially putting him in danger in lis2 proper. that triumphant feeling for Chris at the end of the episode, but then you see it in Sean's eyes in lis2 and it's a what-the-fuck-oh-shit moment that ends up putting him, Chris, and Daniel at risk in so many ways.

it's just, for a game about childhood nostalgia, so much about captain spirit does is dominated by the sheer helplessness that comes from being small and young and at the mercy of forces you don't actually understand or know how to deal with. it fucks me up so hard and I absolutely love it.

Unlife is Strange: Chapter 23 is up “Help From a Friend”

It's me. Hi (I'm the problem, it's me). It’s been a while, but I wanted to wrap up my current arc of Love's Sacrifices before I get back to this story.

This chapter isn't going to be action oriented or anything, with the last three chapters being a three part battle sequence. I think the story could have used a breather after that. We'll be picking up where we last left off, with Max meeting Sean.

We do get some character interactions I've been wanting to get to for a while so there's that. I'm also announcing a spinoff for this fic; Screaming Until Dawn - of course, a crossover between Scream and Until Dawn; the events of that story get a passing mention in this chapter. 

Link for Screaming Until Dawn’s preview  here

Content warning: This chapter contains mild vampire related violence. I say mild because the worse will be left to the imagination. The next chapter is partially written; may be more brutal in the violence department and will also feature our favorite teacher.

Anyways I hope you the enjoy the read

Mi Proyecto Personal 1: Voluntariado en “La Escuelita”

Institución o personas involucradas:

“La Escuelita” es una organización sin fines de lucro fundada por tres profesoras francesas: Lisa Eriksen, profesora de física-química, Emmanuelle Lemasson, profesora de historia-geografía y Marie-Laure Beck, profesora de primaria. La organización se formó a raíz de la pandemia con el objetivo de combatir la desigualdad que afecta a los niños de las zonas desfavorecidas de la periferia de Lima. En 2022, la organización se amplió con la incorporación de Emily Juárez, Luis Serrano, Edgar Pipa, Ángela Paucar y Daniela Pérez, quienes actualmente conforman el equipo de líderes.

Más información en: https://www.laescuelita-lima.org/ 

¿Qué resultados de aprendizaje CAS se pueden evidenciar con esta experiencia?

Mostrar que se han afrontado desafíos y se han desarrollado nuevas habilidades en el proceso.

Mostrar compromiso y perseverancia en las experiencias de CAS

Mostrar habilidades de trabajo en equipo y reconocer los beneficios del trabajo colaborativo. 

Mostrar compromiso con cuestiones de importancia global 

¿Qué hice como la serie de experiencias CAS?

Como serie de experiencias CAS, decidí inscribirme en el voluntariado “La Escuelita” con el objetivo de ser voluntario en el trabajo social que se realiza en las dos “Escuelitas” (Peruanidad y El Valle) ubicadas en el distrito de San Juan de Miraflores. Puesto que he firmado un compromiso en el cual confirmo mi asistencia al voluntariado dos veces por mes, mi labor como voluntaria es ayudar a los niños de estas comunidades con sus tareas todos los sabados por la mañana. Además, ayudó con la organización de los materiales escolares y al culminar las tareas, juego con los niños. 

Describe lo que se ha hecho en cada una de las etapas de CAS

INVESTIGACIÓN (Antes de empezar la experiencia, ¿qué necesito saber o conocer para poder realizar lo que me estoy proponiendo?)

Antes de empezar la experiencia, lo que realicé fue una investigación extensa sobre diferentes voluntariados en Lima. Aunque la mayoría eran dirigidos hacia mayores de edad, “La Escuelita" resaltó, pues permitían que vaya con un adulto responsable, en este caso, mi mamá. Antes de realizar el voluntariado, me informe acerca de las medidas de seguridad para ir hacia Pamplona, la situación precaria de todos los niños que viven en estas comunidades y sobre el consentimiento legal acerca de las constancias de las idas dos veces por mes, pues es una responsabilidad y esfuerzo despertarse tan temprano un sábado. 

PREPARACIÓN (¿Cómo voy a conseguir lo que deseo hacer como experiencia CAS?) ¿En qué fechas se hará? ¿Cuáles serán mis atribuciones y responsabilidades?

En este caso, conseguiré lo que deseo hacer como experiencia CAS, ayudando a los niños con sus tareas, ya sea de Inglés o Matemática. Asimismo, este voluntariado se hará dos veces por mes, pues en julio asistí dos veces y en agosto también. No obstante, mis responsabilidades como voluntaria son cuidar de un niño y ayudarlo con sus tareas, así como procurar que no se desconcentre y confie en mi para poder ayudarlo de la mejor manera posible. 

ACCIÓN (¿Dónde se está realizando?) ¿Qué papel estoy desempeñando?)

Este voluntariado se está realizando en el distrito de San Juan de Miraflores, específicamente en Pamplona, pues la primera “Escuelita” se encuentra en un cerro y se llama “Peruanidad” y la otra “Escuelita” se encuentra en la asociación de viviendas "Unión sin Fronteras”, la cual queda mucho más arriba que la mencionada anteriormente. El grupo de voluntarios nos demoramos alrededor de 15 a 30 minutos en subir a las comunidades. En general, el papel que estoy desarrollando es de profesora, pues la mayoría de estos niños todavía no saben leer o escribir, o cursos básicos como es el de Lengua y Matemáticas. Por esta razón, trato de explicarles de manera clara. Sin embargo, he tenido la oportunidad de interactuar aún más con un niño llamado Kevin, el cual cursa 4to grado de primaria y le gustan mucho las matemáticas y dibujar. A él le explico de manera calmada y entiende. Es un niño muy feliz y con ganas de aprender.

RESULTADOS DE APRENDIZAJE

REFLEXIÓN: 

¿Qué fue lo más relevante de esta experiencia? ¿Por qué?

En definitiva, lo más relevante de esta experiencia es poder pasar tiempo de calidad con los niños de estas comunidades, pues son niños llenos de ganas de aprender cosas nuevas y entender ciertas cosas que no entienden a la primera en sus respectivos colegios. Creo que esto es lo más relevante de este voluntariado, porque se está realizando una muy linda labor social al tener la iniciativa de enseñarles a niños de escasos recursos. 

¿Qué fue lo más difícil de esta experiencia? ¿Cómo lo solucionaste?

Desde mi experiencia personal, lo más difícil en este voluntariado es llegar hasta las comunidades, pues estas están muy alejadas y se tiene que caminar mucho. Asimismo, es complicado tener que observar a estas familias lidiando con problemas económicos o de salubridad. En definitiva, es un choque de realidad ver que niños con ya más de 10 años aun no saben sumar o leer, actividades que son básicas ya a esta edad. Lamentablemente, no hay forma de solucionar las dos últimas estancias a corto plazo. Sin embargo, difundiendo esta labor social y siendo consistente con las asistencias, se puede llegar a realizar un cambio en la vida de estos niños. 

Si volviera a tener esta experiencia, ¿qué debo modificar en mí y en mi entorno (mejorar, potenciar o cambiar)?

Sí volviera a tener esta experiencia, modificaría en mí mi mentalidad, pues he reconocido que tengo una visión muy limitada de Lima. Pude vivir la experiencia de observar cómo muchos limeños viven (en escasos recursos) y reconocer que Lima no es solo los lugares que frecuento. En cuanto a mi entorno, no cambiaría nada, pues estar alrededor de personas que también tienen la iniciativa de ayudar a estos niños es motivadora.

Idea For Improving Life Is Strange 2 - Working On Making Karen Reynolds Less Unsympathetic

(And Tying Some Plot Threads Together As A Bonus)

Second part of this post: https://wyvernseeker.tumblr.com/post/693362528004308992/idea-for-improving-life-is-strange-2-working-on

In my previous post, I talked about an idea of how Karen Reynolds, mother of the protagonist brothers of Life Is Strange 2 could've come across more sympathetic as the story intended to make her by changing her reason for ditching her sons from what boiled down to "I wanted to not be a housewife and live unburdened". Which, by abandoning her husband and children and not even remaining in contact with them since giving birth to Daniel 9 years prior, makes her as unsympathetic as any deadbeat dad. Instead, I put forth the idea that she fell into the clutches of Reverend Mother Lisbeth Fischer and gradually wore and tore her ties with her family, only realizing years later with the ugliness of preventable child death from sickness she's witnessed within the cult how she misses her family. Unfortunately, reconciliation can't quite happen. Fortunately, there is someone, or rather some people willing to help Karen get back on her feet.

Enter Emily Eriksen and her husband, Charles. Understanding her plight and seeing her remorse for her actions, the two set money aside for Karen so as to help her survive. In addition, a traveling writer by the name of Brody gives her further, if limited assistance (though not quite learning the last name of her family). After some time, around the time Daniel is 8, things are looking up for Karen. Planning on trying to reconnect with her husband and kids and gradually on the way to getting her parents to consider forgiving her for how she was in the past, what can go wrong? Well....

Whilst in the area trying to get more followers, Lisbeth by chance sees Karen. And unfortunately just because she's been out of sight doesn't mean she's been out of mind for Lisbeth, and like any demented cult leader, Lisbeth DOESN'T like those abandon the faith. Attempting to charm Karen into returning fails, due to her knowing better and seeing the Reverend Mother as the deranged person she is, and this infuriates Lisbeth. However, this gives her the idea of making Karen suffer for this perceived betrayl. Unfortunately, a proxy is needed, and not a willing one.

Shortly before Christmas, Emily is apparently killed by a driver whilst going out to buy Christmas presents, leading to Charles falling victim to grief. However, unlike how before there seemed to be no suspects, this time there is one: Karen Reynolds. This further sends Charles into despair over the idea the woman Emily trusted killed her and stole from her. To say nothing of Stephen and Claire Reynolds, who are broken over the idea of their daughter turning murderer, breaking what little trust they have for her and disowning her once more. As for Karen, she is now forced on the run from the law, the evidence pointing to her. Evidence fabricated by Lisbeth.

Having spied on Karen during her interactions with Emily, the Reverend Mother would in turn spy on Emily, deciding she would be the proxy as to which Karen would be punished through. Observing her routine, she would then find out about Emily going to pick up presents on that fateful day and then decides to strike. With God as her witness, Lisbeth punches Emily's ticket and makes it seem as if she and Karen were having a falling out over monetary support. Brody would suspect Karen is being framed, but sadly has little evidence to try and defend her. Thus, he searches for Karen and evidence to clear her name, whilst also looking for a good story or two. Especially if it involves the cult she was once part of.

So, how was that? I tried to make it that Karen looks more sympathetic as well as tie the threads of Lisbeth's cult, the death of Emily Eriksen and a little bit of the nomadic Brody into the mix. Again, I apologize if I left several notable holes in my idea or if I somehow plagiarized off someone, as that was not my intention.

My 12 speculations for upcoming episodes of LiS2

         It's been about two months after releasing of the first episode. besides likes and reblogs, i tried to make my own posts about theories, speculations or fan arts of Life is Strange 2 but i needed more time to analyze and find inspiration until i decided to make this post and wait to see which speculations would be true or just ideas.

This list consists of my speculations and others' i found on websites. I don't know if here are somebody who still don't play or watch the prequel and the first episode. so you should skip this post if you don't want to see any spoilers.

#1. Mrs. Reynolds is actually the grandmother of Sean and Daniel.

source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXE17l9SVM4

In Arcadia Bay Scene of LiS2, Brody asks Sean about his family and he says he only have grandparents who live in USA. in The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, if Chris can convince Mrs. Reynolds to leave, she'll talk about her grandchildren that she's never seen for a long time and they're at her house. these hints make me feel so sure that Dontnod try to tell us Granny Claire and the brothers are absolutely relatives. 

#2. We may see Lyla Park and Brody Holloway again.

Although I have no idea how she can find the brothers and why he should meet them again. maybe they will bump into each other with new issues after Sean and Daniel leave Claire's house. we may see the development of the relationship between Sean and Lyla or get a surprise from Brody, however they don't deserve to have small roles in this season.

#3 Is Brody's real surname Prescott?

source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXE17... 

         During escaping with the car, Sean ask Brody about his occupation and he says he come from a wealthy family but no soul and he took off to travel after graduating high school and never go back to his home. now he does many jobs such as writes stories for magazines and websites, doing podcasts, and protest etc. 

         Since everything in LiS series are in the same universe, it would be awesome if we saw more connections between characters from both seasons. some say he's from Utah because his car displays Utah license plates but he never directly tell he's from Utah and he may be got the car when he visited there, however we still don't know his background well enough to tell who he is.

#4. Daniel does creepy breathing sound when Chris calls Mrs. Reynolds lately.

source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ4iO5jK9Xo

         In The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, when you do the awesome things or whatever until Charles falls asleep and call Mrs. Reynolds. you'll hear someone do creepy breathing sound during a call and in the post-credits scene of episode 1, you can see the forest covered with snow and hear Sean try to teach Daniel to control his power then he can float a stone in the air. this means the brothers may be somewhere in Beaver Creek in December and Daniel would have practiced for a month.

         I guess Daniel would control his power better and imagine himself as Darth Vader. he may monkey around in the house when Claire's not home until Chris call on the phone.

#5. If Dontnod need to show us the depth of friendship between two kids, they should let us play as Daniel.

         This speculation sounds like a wish and seems impossible but after the first episode, Daniel knows he has the powers and he can deal with it, i think it would be great if we had a chance to control his telekinesis via playing as him. besides, i don't know how big is Chris' part but if the friendship between Daniel and Chris is important to the main story, it should be told through the perspective of these kids instead of the third person because it's easier to see the depth in their relationship.

A teenager like Sean might not fit to do kids activities or follow them all day.

#6. The secret map may guide Chris and the brothers to the next awesome adventures.

         In Chris' room, you can find a hand-drawn map on the wall between the desk and the bed, it's called "secret map" and we use it with secret decoder to solve the puzzle and find the way in junk pile to get his treasure. (in fact, there's a short one way hole. ^ ^") besides, the details on the map based on Eriksen household's neighborhood but the locations were changed to his imaginary things and i'm curious what inspire them.

         So if an upcoming episode had the adventures of Chris and the brothers, i think every imaginary places and monsters in the secret map would be the destinations and let us know more about Chris' imaginary world and his background.

#7. Was Emily Eriksen killed by an influential person?

         Emily was killed in hit and run on December 16, 2014 in Beaver Creek. Charles had asked the officers about finding the culprit for two years but they said they couldn't find more evidence because the street surveillance data isn't available for the scene.

         It's possible the Emily case may be difficult for investigation like they said or the officers try not to investigate this case because they don't want to deal with influential people who would be revealed in upcoming episodes.

#8. Sean may plan to leave Daniel at Mrs. Reynolds's house and escape to Puerto Lobos alone.

source: https://youtu.be/eji0xlwH2-A 

         Besides mentioning her grandchildren, Claire also tells one of them is Chris' age and she bet him and Chris would get along like brothers. I think her words sounds really suspicious. why she compares Chris to Daniel's new brother instead of a best friend and Daniel still has Sean as his older brother. 

         I think Sean knows Daniel would never has a chance to be a suspect like him (if he never revealed his powers to everybody) and it seems to be hard to take a long trip with kid and a dog. so Sean may consult Claire without Daniel before she comes to see Chris but his plan wouldn't succeed for some reason.

#9. Derek, a proud member of a Church may has an important role.

source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chqug... 

         When Chris does something in the house for a while, Derek will call and say he is a proud member of the Universal Uprising Church and his church wants Chris and his loved ones to share the holy spirit. I guess Derek and his church may have interesting background and important roles in upcoming episodes. they may know something about super powers and have an ability to help Daniel or have mysterious backstory and be involved in murders.

#10. Chris may escape from the Eriksen Household to his grandparents's home.

         Near Charles' Laptop, you can find the letter to Charles from Peter Wyatt, the father of Emily reads Peter and his wife Kristen care so much about Charles and Chris. he heard Charles was in bar fight and he ask for permission to take care of Chris and want Charles to consider joining a support group.

         Although Chris doesn't want to leave Charles but in an upcoming episode, the domestic violence of Eriksen household may escalate and Chris would escape to Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt's home or Daniel may accidentally hurt Charles for protecting Chris. so the brothers and the only child would have to run away together.

#11. Sean and Daniel may not reach Mexico.

         Besides the journey of a thousand miles, they may have to face other racists, bump into officers or be chased by the antagonists who haven't revealed yet, however the brothers may find out the reason how and why Daniel got the powers and resolve all the conflicts before arrival to Puerto Lobos.

#12. It's possible that Sean or Daniel would pass away at the end of season.

sorce: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwzNgdu5n8Y 

          I know it sounds terrible but if the second season still had a life/death ending like the first season and brotherly bonding is the main theme, their death could surely make us depressed for a month. this idea is inspired by Daniel lines that he talks with Sean about two raccoons they saw. he guesses the dead one may be the brother of the other one and Sean stops him from thinking of it, however this may be a hint from Dontnod or just random lines. 

         In my opinion, if Sean was the person who passed away by try to protect Daniel or whatever and left his sketchbook with all good memories of their journey to him, it would be a sad and beautiful ending. (I'm so sorry Lyla. T T)

         I'm a little bit disappointed that the second episode will release on January, 2019. i thought they would release in December but there's no any teaser trailer released in November and i was afraid that episode 2 will be released in Jan like somebody said and now it's true.

 but it's better than waiting without knowing for how long, right?

[this-world-of-beautiful-monsters]

jokes aside I really do like how so many creatives Sean encounters or is otherwise linked to over the course of the game--Emily, Karen, Joan, Cassidy, even Claire--are women. like it's a good way to build on the other games' explorations and celebrations of women artists, just from a more external perspective. ntm that it fits into lis2's more general study of the way people get locked of more traditional art spaces due to issues of race, gender, and class--either as punishment for breaking too many of society's rules about them or having to conform to the point it stifles their traditional creative future--and still finding all sorts of ways to make art, do crime on the margins. it's a really beautiful expansion of the potential for art by women and people of color outside of the stifling walls of a place like Blackwell and I don't think it gets talked about enough.

Emilie Eriksen

[dwellordream]

“...By the 1920s, only the very poorest Danish families had to depend on the economic contributions of adolescent children for survival, but in most households daughters were still expected to help supplement the household income by handing over their pay. Especially in their first years as wage earners, parental control over children's income was considerable. Mothers in charge of the family budget generally kept most of the wages, permitting adolescent wage earners only a limited weekly allowance for personal expenses. Young women's family responsibilities continued in other ways as well. 

While sons were given much more leeway, daughters were generally expected to contribute their labor to the household after they arrived home from work. "In my family, all the children were sent out to work after their [Christian] confirmation [at the age of thirteen or fourteen], and we all had to give mother some of the money we earned for housekeeping," Gerda Eriksen recalled of her working class youth in the early 1920s. "But," she continued, "the girls also had their chores—running errands, peeling potatoes, setting and cleaning the table, doing the dishes, bringing up coal from the basement. My brothers never had to do any of that. That was women's work."

But if contributing wages and labor to the household continued to be the unquestioned norm, young women's sense of their rights and obligations vis-a-vis the family was nevertheless changing in other ways in the early decades of the twentieth century. When earnings were sufficient, some daughters decided to strike out on their own and live independently in rented rooms, small apartments, or boarding houses, but given their low wages this was a possibility for the very few. More frequently, young working women sought to use their earnings as leverage to negotiate a stronger position within the family. Especially after World War I, when most families were able to place themselves safely beyond the poverty line, the necessity of individual sacrifice for household survival began to fade.

This allowed even working-class daughters to assert their right to new privileges in exchange for their economic contributions, and in the 1920s they did so in increasing numbers. Young women's sense of what they could legitimately demand from their families clearly sprang from their status and experiences as wage earners outside the home. In the labor market, and particularly in jobs other than domestic service, young women learned a rhythm of time and labor that divided daily life into paid work and one's "own" time. This was a rhythm already familiar to most men, whose lives had long been split into realms of work and leisure. Therefore, (male) wage earners were the obvious beneficiaries when Danish government regulations in 1919 limited the work day to eight hours, allowing working men more free time than ever before. 

Married women, on the other hand, did not experience a similar shortening of the workday. Whether they worked outside the home or not, housework, child-rearing, cooking, and cleaning were never ending tasks, and unlike their husbands, they had to snatch their few leisured moments in between domestic responsibilities. As working women, daughters were precariously positioned between these different patterns of daily life. Even though they took on wage labor much like their fathers and brothers, young women were simultaneously expected to share the steady burdens of domestic work with their mothers and to devote their nonworking time to household labor. 

It was this discrepancy between expectations fostered by labor market participation in the context of increasing standards of living, and the realities of family life that became increasingly intolerable for many young women in the 1910s and 1920s. In their minds, earning a living and bringing home money positioned them on a par with male members of the family, entitling them to at least some of the same prerogatives. Consequently, while they did not resist having to hand over a substantial part of their earnings, they more and more openly resented that their financial contribution did not always earn them what they considered its reasonable counterpart, namely the right to free time. As a result, families with adolescent daughters were plunged into conflicts about the degree of personal autonomy that labor market participation and wages ought to bestow. 

Intrafamilial conflicts are often difficult for historians to document, but in this case tensions between parents and children are easily discernible. They surface, for instance, in the immensely popular advice columns of the 1910s and 1920s. Convinced of their right as wage earners to at least some free time and exasperated by their parents' unwillingness to grant them this privilege, some young women turned to advice columnists, hoping for replies that would affirm the legitimacy of their demands. 

Among the correspondents was "Betty" who openly questioned her parents' authority. "I work from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. every day," she explained. "When I come home, I am tired, but I still have to fix dinner and look after my younger sister. In the evenings my parents say I have to do needle-work, but I would rather read or go for a walk. Can they really demand that I stay at home? I am seventeen and a half years old, and I pay my mother Dkr. 8 every week."

Similarly, "a Copenhagen girl" found the relationship between rights and duties in her life unreasonable. "Before I leave in the morning," she complained, "I have to light the fire, make coffee and pack lunches. When I come home, the dishes are still sitting there, and there are errands to be run. Sometimes I want to meet my girlfriend at night, but my parents will almost never let me go. They say there is no reason to 'gad about,' but I don't understand what is wrong with having a little bit of fun at night when you work all day." Other evidence also suggests that many young women openly struggled to obtain the right to leisure and independent activities they thought they deserved. 

Personal narratives often reveal both the intensity of such conflicts and the ingenuity of young women bent on getting their way. Emilie Johansen, who grew up in a middle-class family in a suburb of Aarhus recalled, for example, how she and her sister enlisted the help of an older aunt in their conflicts with an authoritarian father. "He was so strict. He would never allow us to have any fun, never allow us to go anywhere. It was hopeless. But then my aunt—I guess she was feeling sorry for us— we talked to her, and she hired us to do some cleaning and stuff. And we would get there and she would say, 'Why don't you girls run off to see a movie?' I don't remember if we ever actually did any work."

Equally resourceful, Copenhagen native Anna Eriksen depended on the backing of an older brother, who, in exchange for small favors, would promise to act as her chaperon outside the home only to vanish as soon as the siblings were out of their parents' sight. In addition to such evidence, numerous magazine articles and newspaper columns from the 1910s and 1920s chronicle the anger and bewilderment of parents who found themselves in constant conflict with their daughters. For mothers, this seemed particularly difficult. Not only did their daughters' desire for a "modern" life seem a rejection of their own norms and values, which in itself was hard to bear, but on top of that, some girls directly flaunted their disrespect of maternal authority, especially if fathers were absent, indulgent, or merely lackadaisical.

"When my daughter is not at the office, she thinks life has to be lived in a cafe, or in other places where people are judged according to their dress and style," "Ninka's mother" wrote to a women's magazine in 1921. "If I tell her to stay home even a few nights a week, she acts as if I've just imposed a life sentence on her." "She doesn't listen to me," another mother complained of her seventeen-year-old daughter. "When I tell her to stay home, she just laughs and says that you are only young once, that this is the twentieth century and not the Middle Ages, and that she is already wasting too much of her youth in a dirty factory. Besides that, she has her own money."

Even more desperate, the mother of one of the much maligned Langelinie girls told a newspaper journalist that she had "begged and pleaded with [her daughter] not to go there, but it doesn't help. I have to go to work, and my neighbor tells me that as soon as I am out the door, she takes off." Using whatever means it took, many young working women who came of age in the late 1910s and 1920s thus pushed for new personal freedoms and especially the right to free time. While some parents never gave in to their pressure, most young women seemed gradually to succeed in carving out of daily life at least some uninterrupted time devoted to relaxation and their own enjoyment. 

From the mid-1920s, the frequency of daughters' publicly voiced complaints declined dramatically, and coming-of-age stories no longer featured such conflicts. Apparently, Ernestine P. Poulsen, born in 1902, described a phenomenon that extended beyond her family when she explained that "I fought a lot of battles with my parents [over the right to leisure]. Perhaps I cleared the way because when my [younger] sisters came along, they did not have to do the same. My parents had kind of accepted that girls also needed time of their own."

This did not mean, however, that conflicts between parents and daughters faded. Rather, the grounds of conflict merely shifted. Much resistance to giving young women free time derived from the material conditions of daily life—the practical assistance of grown daughters was still important for the well-being of many working-class households—and from a more general reluctance to give up control over children. But parents' reluctance also stemmed from their misgivings about young women's actual use of their leisure time. 

Had daughters simply demanded more time to pursue leisure activities within the home, had they insisted on participating in cooking classes and sewing circles, or had they wanted to attend lectures on hygiene and housewifery, they would probably have been met with more understanding. But these were not the kinds of activities young women longed to engage in, and therefore the question of female leisure remained a contentious issue throughout the postwar decade.

Working-class and middle-class daughters had of course not been entirely without time of their own prior to the 1920s. Nor had they been completely confined to the home. Girls from the countryside had always been allowed to participate in regional fairs, celebrations, and local get-togethers of young people. Urban working-class daughters had long socialized outside the home on staircase landings and front steps, in backyards, and on city streets or in neighborhood parks, and many middle-class daughters belonged to women's clubs and organizations. 

What constituted the major departure from convention in the 1910s and 1920s was young women's insistence on their right to "go out," an activity significantly different from the kind of casual socializing that took place outside their parents' windows or in clubs and organizations under adult supervision. "Going out," Regitze Nielsen recalled, "that was when we got dressed up and went somewhere." More specifically, "going out" meant pursuing pleasures that took young women away from home and family, into the public, and, in particular, toward new forms of commercial recreation, including movie theaters, cafes, dance places, and amusement parks. As a social practice, this form of "going out" challenged older norms for female behavior in several ways. 

First, it obviously entailed their deliberate desertion from the domestic world, if only momentarily. Second, "going out" meant young women venturing outside familiar neighborhoods and beyond the realm of adult control and surveillance, claiming for themselves the right to an independent, unsupervised social life distinct from familial traditions. Third, as opposed to more traditional forms of leisure for women, "going out" was a strictly peer-oriented activity in which kinship ties had much less significance than freely chosen and carefully cultivated friendships among girls and young women who usually met in school, at work, in clubs and organizations, or in the neighborhood where they lived. 

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, "going out" meant women's entrance into public spaces traditionally defined as male territory and often imagined as sites of immoral activity where men and women freely mingled, potentially transgressing social and sexual boundaries. Because each of these four aspects seemed to pose a fundamental threat to the social and sexual status quo, intense controversies between parents and children over young women's new leisure activities reverberated throughout the postwar decade. Years after families had conceded to daughters' demands for more time of their own, parents struggled to control or at least influence their use of that time. 

By dictating curfews, prohibiting particular activities and specific locations, insisting on being introduced to friends and companions, and demanding the chaperonage of brothers, parents sought not only to protect their daughters against potential dangers but also to maintain at least some authority. Consequently, when young women ventured out into the public sphere, they generally did so under the intense scrutiny of parents who continued to hold some power to revoke their newly won privileges. Thus, even as "going out" gradually became a regular part of young women's lives, treading carefully remained an often perplexing prerequisite.”
