ESP Biography

Interested in learning about powerful women and their strides to change the patriarchal structure of society? Then this class is for you! We will talk about first and second wave feminism, but focus primarily on third wave feminism and the riot grrrl movement. We will also have a discussion about the ways that each wave failed and succeeded, bringing up the question: what was lacking and what still needs to change in our society? These movements achieved monumental successes, such as the right for women to vote and the movement for equal rights. We still have a long way to go, so it is important to figure out what is necessary to achieve an environment where everyone is equal.
