Northen WomanThere a lot of interest in northern women right now. Why?Everyone has dreams about packing it in headed off to an isolated spot and making it on there own. The trouble with that fantasy is that most people like their creature comforts too much, don’t have the money or the courage to do it. There are a group of women who live in remote, and rural northern spots. How do they make it? It is not how you think, it is not by going it alone but banding together. “No man is an island” someone once said well “No women to is an island.” Northern women have to learn how to survive in freezing cold temperatures, isolated from cultural and usually have very small or limited resources. What we can learn about northern women.. a lot it seems. Diverse BackgroundsNorthern women are from diverse backgrounds, they are like women from all over the world meaning there is not just one type of northern woman. Yet, they do have something in common. Beverly Leipert, a University of Alberta PhD student did a study on northern women, and concluded that even though they are often times surrounded by harsh conditions, suffer from emotional and physical challenge their coping mechanism help them to get through these hardships. Northern women are active particpates within their communities.. They are involved in forming and joining social groups, a support mechanism for northern women who are usually isolated from one another. As Leipert suggested, northern women learn how to depend on themselves, become more spiritual, and get more involve in outdoor activities to strengthen their resolve. ResilienceResiliency is defined as the ability to snap back quickly from bad things. But resiliency does not just involves that but also the ability to prosper with an elegance and grace in the face of harsh times. Northern women are not defined by their financial hardships, and their limited educational backgrounds. They lack resources but they have learned to live well within their limitations. Outdoor activitiesNorthern women participate in outdoor activities. If you lived in a place where to eat means learning how to fish, you learn how to fish. Also, by participating in outdoor activities is a for northern women to become more involved with their surrounding. Spiritual convictionsFor a lot of people whether they live in the north or not, their beliefs in a higher power gets them through the hard times which gives them a sense that their is more to life then just what meets the eye. For Northern women this is especially true. Their beliefs offers them a kind of comfort that may be hard to articulate. Although they rely on themselves there are things outside of their control and faith helps to get them through such times turbulent times. There is a lot more to learn about Northern women: their overcoming hardships, sense of community, and go to attitude offers infinite wisdom. What others have contributed to this page?
