641 Are You a Feminist? An Examination of the Four Waves of Feminism
Class | Registration opens 2/3/2025 11:00 AM
Using the text Feminism: A Brief Introduction to the Ideas, Debates & Politics of the Movement by Deborah Cameron as the frame of the course, we will examine the four waves of feminism, the effects of each wave in terms of women's rights, work, sex and culture. Literary excerpts from Sappho, Bronte, Wolfe, Friedan, Steinem, Watkins/Hooks, Angelou, Lorde and more will be used to examine the authors' views and as a tool for reflection and discussion about our own views of feminism.
