It’s no secret that the early feminist movement was largely a movement among and for middle-class, educated white women, and we are already seeing in MAKERS Part 1: Awakening that other women – Black women, lesbians, working class women, etc – were pushing back against that limited view of sexual equality. We’ll be getting to the contributions of other women as we move forward in our course, but for now, let’s focus on those very early days of the movement because as non-inclusive and limited as they were they did lay the groundwork for the growth of feminism. To do this, let’s focus on the sorts of situations and injustices that women took on in the 1950s and 1960s, often without really think of the situations or themselves as feminist. This discussion board does not require outside research. Everything you need is in our materials in this module. Choose ONE of the three people/quotes below and then:In one paragraph briefly explain who this person is (age, race, career status, marital and/or parental status, et cetera). Do not do outside research. All you need to do in this paragraph is share what we’ve learned about this person in the materials in this module. In a second paragraph break down the quote attributed to this person: (a) What was the situation/injustice to which the quote refers? Describe that situation/injustice. (b) What does this quote mean? Why did the speaker say this and why did she feel this way? (c) Do you imagine this person a self-identified feminist when she said this? [Tip: You will want to use and define at least one of the key terms from Modules 1 through 3.]In a third paragraph, describe how the person/quote and the situation/injustice involved connect to the feminism movement and its tenets? In what was this individual situation/injustice connected to the political/systemic? How was this individual situation indicative of larger social issues? [You’ll probably want to use and define “the personal is political” and/or “systemic” from our course materials.]Kathrine Switzer: When asked if she was a suffragette or a crusader, Switzer replied “What? I’m just trying to run” but quickly followed that up with “I’m gonna finish this race on my hands and knees if I have to.”Jean Montague: “I was twenty-six at the time, and I thought, ‘I could make a whole career out of this.’ Then I realized I can’t.”Lorena Weeks: When told by a supervisor, “You know the man’s the breadwinner in the family,” Weeks responded “Oh no, when I go through the grocery line in the grocery store, they don’t push back a loaf of bread and say ‘you’re a nice little lady, so you can have this ten cents cheaper because you’re a woman.”
