Like Heather, I was struck by the use of the Spice Girls as an example of girlie feminism in the text, partly because they were so big when we were little. To me, what makes girlie feminism interestin ...

Hey people...(I refrain from saying hey guys cuz we're not all guys) So this chapter was interesting, even if a lot of the stuff it went over was review. I liked the sidebars about feminism outside of ...

Hey everybody...so I would have been second to post after Heather, but my computer deleted my posts twice, so I'm just going to sum up what my earlier post would have said and add my responses to what ...

Like Heather, I enjoyed this reading-CSW is such a liberal place, and we so rarely give the proper attention/respect to conservative people and their opinions. I find, however, that reading conservati ...

I liked this reading, because it was a contemporary take on the past. Also, to read something by a different author spiced it up a little bit. To me, the important part of this article was the ambigui ...

Oops...I forgot to ask a question. Here goes: Are the roles of mother and citizen, worker and homemaker, mutually exclusive? Women today are known to try and "have it all", balancing these r ...

Like Heather, I was struck by the reference to the "How To Be A Woman" article in Seventeen. There was a sort of fake, superficial happiness to women in the '50's, a cheery facade, that I f ...

I thought this reading was really interesting. I think Olivia's right that organized feminism died down in the 20's as the result of the crazy consumer culture that turned many women into individuals. ...

This stressed me out to no end! Like Rachel, it took me forever to figure out how to post stuff, and then someone deleted one of my posts, so I had to paste it back in. I think that if classes do this ...

This reading did a lot to reiterate the truths in the Dicker. However, I feel like we have talked a lot about Black Women, but not about other women of color. Therefore, I enjoyed the information abou ...
