I completed reading another article on women's studies.

I will have to know the basics of women's studies and feminism for grad school in legal studies. I completed reading this article on Friday:
Hamilton, Roberta. The Women's Movement(s) in Gendering the Vertical Mosaic: Feminist Perspectives on Canadian Society (Toronto: Copp Clark, 1996) at 43-81.

This covered a herstory of the feminist movement in Canada questioning the idea that the feminist movement is dead or fragmented. Along the way of this history ideas of race, class, and ability were covered as keys also in different feminisms and different actions. Interestingly a manifesto of late sixties radical feminists within the counter culture was quoted piece by piece and rather well tied into the text of the article.
