Schole Deep Dives: Feminism- Women, Work and Writing


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. ⁣⁣
