( Please do that for me)
(Please do that for me and write it so I can know it)Once you have chosen your two items of media, you will create a new thread and title it as creatively as you can.
Within your thread you are to introduce your peers to each item of media by identifying what it is (is it an article, a website, an app, a video clip, etc.,) and briefly discuss it by answering the following (remember to answer individually for each media item you’ve chosen):
What are your chosen media items communicating with the audience?
How are you relating your chosen media items to themes, content, and/or figures in this course based on your exploration of our course descriiption in the syllabus?
Based on your close engagement with each of your chosen media items, identify and explain who you consider to be your chosen media items’ intended audience.
Share a link and/or image associated with each of your media items in your thread so that your peers can follow you to your chosen media items.
Lastly, make sure you identify and briefly explain what sparked you to choose the media items you did.

Course Descriiption:
Welcome to Histories of Feminism! This is an asynchronous online course, which means that we do
not have any designated class meeting times. This course studies both activist and intellectual
histories of feminism. We will focus primarily on feminist history within U.S. contexts and will more
specifically attend to understanding how gender intersects with race, sexuality, and class throughout
history. To do so, we will engage various materials in this course including feminist theoretical texts,
mixed media, historical analyses, cultural critiques, and film. The course content is roughly
chronological and organized into three segments. The first segment begins with early discourses on
the emergence of Women’s Rights leading up to and during the Women’s Suffrage Movement in the
U.S. then moves into discourses leading up to the Women’s Liberation Movement in the U.S. The
second segment includes exploration of the Women’s Liberation Movement and the third segment
engages particular historical and also contemporary feminist scholarship that has founded and
continues to grow feminist thought and activism. Overall, this course aims to provide students the
space to learn and grow their knowledge of feminist histories and their contributions to major
contemporary feminist activism and theoretical concepts.
Learning Objectives:
• Summarize the history of feminism as a social movement and body of critical thought.
