Document Summary
0%- short essay, reflection piece, first person, on the meanings of feminism. 40%- four short in-class critical response papers examining different periods and schools within feminist thought. Each is worth 10%, based on readings from class. Based on the week"s readings, you will talk about how they can be used to address a current event or ongoing set of events. Given that the readings are dense and theoretical, participation in class discussions and in small-class group assignments and discussions is essential. Lecture 1- september 11th settings and beyond that falls apart. The idea of feminism coming in (cid:498)waves(cid:499) is fundamentally flawed, only really applies in european. The first (cid:498)wave(cid:499) concerns itself with the law, (cid:498)de jure(cid:499), meaning dealing with the laws. First wave was about the law, now it is about daily practices and issues of feminism. First wave focused mainly on voting, second wave took on the burden of family life, family care, reproductive rights, etc.
