Ch. 24 (Strayer, pp. 734-739) Response

This section of chapter 24 focuses on the globalization of liberation by comparing different feminist movements from the west, the global south, and internationally. All forms of feminist movements are important, and it is very unfortunate that there are still so many places that treat women so horribly and still see them as being less than men, which is completely wrong. The feminist movement is something I feel attached to, not just because I am a woman. My aunt, whom I am very close to, took part in the feminist movement, still does in fact, and has made sure to let me know how important it is that women be treated equally and how important it is that women be aware of their ability to be independent. It’s interesting to read that women from different area, though they were part of the same movement, they did not have the same views. It’s unfortunate to read that there were so many difficulties between feminist groups and that we could not be more united in our thoughts. I wonder if there is still so many divisions between feminist groups. It’s also incredibly sickening to think that some one would actually call feminism a “disease”.
