One of my Schole Deep Dives this year will be Feminism: Women, Work, and Writing.
I’ll be completing a history of Feminism as philosophy and ideology, and also as a sociopolitical movement.
Simultaneously, I’ll be zooming in on the female experience of work and writing, how it fits into history as a whole, and feminism as a literary theory.
I will likely read a bit about working women in all professions, but I will focus my efforts on Writers, Teachers, and Supreme Court Justices.
Writers and teachers because the work of women in these fields personally matters to me, and Justices because we’re studying RBG, SOC, and the Supreme Court in our homeschool and I admire both women tremendously, so I think it’s a great connection to my own personal deep dive.
Why?
In short, because history matters and women matter.
Because I grew up in a fundamentalist cult that demonized and reduced feminism improperly, and because I’m a Christian and the Church still hasn’t reckoned with their treatment of and view of women properly or entirely.
Some of the Books I’ll be Reading:
📖 A History of Women Series published by Harvard
