The reading, for the most part, seemed to be focused on the comparison of the second and third waves of the feminism movement. I found it interesting to see how the two waves contradicted one another ...

Imagine a reversed racial world where white men were slaves for black men and Brian Walker's triangle read (from top to bottom): black men, black women, white men, white women.
Would white men fight ...

I loved this reading! Given the perspectives of people with varying thoughts about the movement, I feel now as though I have a much better understanding of it. I most enjoyed reading the "Men All ...

Like Heather, I found it much more interesting and thought-provoking to read about things that occurred just shortly before my own birth. But anyway, I'm pretty sure third wave feminism is my favorite ...

One thing is made clear of the e ...

I added the sentence "Though many women's suffrage groups existed, all fighting for a common cause, they greatly differed."

I edited a sentence and changed it to "The first wave of f ...

The entire suffrage movement made much progress during the 1850's-1900's, but what most interested me was the inevitable problems that also accompanied this success. Hundreds of thousands of women wer ...
