Hey,
I've had another idea... I'm not sure if you've seen the film 'the Magdalene sisters' or heard of the Magdalene laundries but these places were catholic institutions for women, where they were sent for committing 'sins'. However, these so called sins were for things like being raped by their own cousin or for even looking/talking to guys and for having babies out of wedlock. The women's fathers would give them consent to be taken there where they were forced to work like slaves and be humiliated by the nuns. This I believe shows the ultimate power of men to the point where the women have no say in the matter and are literally deemed insane.
Please watch the film, it's a really good insight into how women were treated (and although the film is based in the 60's, it still a good idea of how things were). The last laundry was closed in 1993, meaning women were still subjected to horrific abuse and controlled by men for a very long time!
I think this sort of concept contrasts very well with the modern women we are playing. But let me know what you think.
Just an idea :)
