Midterm Review
1) 4 prolonged definitions of feminism (adapted from the work of Kimberly Wallace
Sanders)
● Critique and resist patriarchy, as an oppresive system that devalues women and
girls, female-bodied people, and femme identified people, and notions of feminity
● Uses an intersectional approach that acknowledges that all systems of
oppression including racism, classism, ableism, heterosexism and more are
interlocking
● Connects theory (knowledge production) to praxis (social action)
● I nvites us to live our questions in pursuit of justice out loud and in action
2) Explain the social construction of gender
3) Examples of how gender is socially constructed → through sociocultural
influences during development
