Feminism of 1960's & 1970's

Catalog description

Feminism of the 1960's & 1970's (3-0) This course focuses the Second Wave of American feminism, which is often thought to have been comprised of a white, middle-class sisterhood of like-minded women. This course will explore, question, and dispel this narrow scope by introducing the student to various voices from the margins of this time. Issues will include race, class, ethnicity, sexuality, and disability from the perspective of lesser known groups that have influenced and defined the women's movement during the second wave in the 1960's and 1970's. Prerequisite: Junior/Senior standing.
