In the last lecture episode, we talked about American and Canadian feminist movements in the 19th and early 20th century. One of the major themes in that lecture was around the tensions within the category of “woman.” As we discussed, one of the problems with the feminist wave metaphor is that so much of it is built around white women’s histories and experiences with feminist activism. Critiques of treating middle and upper class white women’s experiences as universal occurred in the 19th and early 20th century. We will continue to see these critiques in the lecture today and throughout this course. 

Today’s episode will explain:

1. The history of feminist activism from the 1920s to the 2020s
