Question.628 - Choose ONE of these options, and write a short (3-5 page) essay response, using evidence and analysis: We all exist as part of history, and right now it seems especially clear that we are living in a significant historical moment. Thinking back over what you’ve learned in this class, how would you consider your place in history? Use facts and examples from class readings to discuss women’s options and limitations in the early 21st century. Do you see connections with past women? With past ideas? How did their lives lay the groundwork for our current context? How have things changed (or not)? The struggle for women’s rights has often been referred to as “waves” of feminism, with the first wave in the 19th and early 20th century fight for suffrage, the second wave of the 1960s and 1970s, and the third wave beginning in the 1990s. Some observers identify a fourth wave in the 21st century, while others see current activism as a continuation of third wave feminism. Do you believe the “wave” metaphor is an appropriate way to understand the history of feminism in the United States? Why or why not? What can this tell us about how we think about women in history and their reactions within their specific historical contexts? Do you see similarities or differences between these “waves” as more significant? Are there any women we’ve read about this semester that you identify with, whether by race, religion, region, ideology, situation, or other characteristics? Or any women who stood out for you as particularly interesting or influential? How were they shaped by their historical context and how did they contribute to the society we live in today? What comparisons can you make between their experience, opportunities, limitations, and actions and the current historical context?
