Critical Feminist Studies 2008 - Web Papers #1

These are the first webpapers to emerge from Critical Feminist Studies, a course offered at Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2008. One month into the semester, students are writing here about what feminist issues seem most critical to them, who addresses them most cogently, what else would they like to know about these topics, and how they might find out...

Take a look around, and feel warmly welcome to respond in the comment area available at the end of each paper. What strikes, intrigues, puzzles you...what, among your reactions, might be of interest or use to the writer, or others in the class, or others who--exploring the internet--might be in search of a thoughtful conversation about the shape and sound of feminism today?
