Women have longed to be viewed as equal in the eyes of society. In this class, you will be asked to free-write for 4-6 minutes on this question: “What specific experiences have you had that caused you to think that you were treated in a particular way because of your gender?”

Then we will read & discuss Chapter 1 of the iconic text Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan and an excerpt from In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose by Alice Walker.
