Document Summary
Third wave feminism: 1990-2008 (use hailey"s notes for this week, yours suck) Begins with critique of second and first wave feminism. The way that people understood their world was through religion. Catholic church preached that you were excommunicated if you questioned god/put to death. All modernist theories claimed that their theory was the truth. Liberal ideology is written from the elite. Liberal ideology did not want to be changed. Marxist also claimed that his theory was the truth. Second wave feminist theory also claimed they held the truth. Second wave feminist didn"t want society to change they just wanted more access to jobs. Radical feminists argued that all women share the same experience and that experience is violence against women. This is what shaped all women"s reality. Although some women had more access to resources. We must look at women"s lives from the perspective of all theories. Modernist theory = one truth, one perspective.
