Reading this it didn't come as much as a surprise that many aren't knowledgeable about feminist. She made sure that the reader knew exactly what happened and how important it really was. In fact I'm taking a class on Gender taught by professor Endress. She states before she tells us what were going to discuss about in the class that many people especially men in particular aren't aware of the history of women and the different kinds of feminist. Knowing this you can already assume that classes are barely taught about feminism and although women are free to vote and have equal rights many are still sexiest and still treat women unequally. This could be because a lot aren't aware of women history and the strength and patience.

For those who don't know this movie is based on a true story and many wasn't aware of the torture women went through. The women who protested and risked their lives for the cause had to be recognized, thus the movie being made. Kristin Rowen-Finkbeiner made it clear that all aspects of the feminist movement should be noticed because not to many women even know their own history.
Thanks for sharing the movie. It is sad and interesting how we repeat similar patters as a society because we didn't learn from our mistakes. A lot of horribly screwed up people hurt women in the past and do so now. I'm glad we are become more aware of this, even if it is one class at a time.
ReplyDeleteI believe that your comparison to hand cuffs and women is brilliant. They are slowly losing their grip as women receive more rights, such as the right to vote and more female presence in places like congress.
