  • The Impact of Digital Feminist Activism by Cassie
    #TrendingFeminism: The Impact of Digital Feminist Activism by Cassie Clark B.A. in English and Theatre, May 2007, St. Olaf College A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of The George Washington University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts May 17, 2015 Thesis directed by Todd Ramlow Adjunct Professor of Women’s Studies This work is dedicated to my grandfather, who, upon being told that I was planning to attend graduate school, responded, “Good, you should have more education than your father.” ii The author wishes to acknowledge Dr. Todd Ramlow for his expertise, knowledge, and encouragement. She also wishes to acknowledge Dr. Alexander Dent for his invaluable guidance regarding the performance of media and digital technologies. iii Abstract of Thesis #TrendingFeminism: The Impact of Digital Feminist Activism As the use of online platforms such as social networking sites, also known as social media, and blogs grew in popularity, feminists began to embrace digital media as a significant space for activism. Digital feminist activism is a new iteration of feminist activism, offering new tools and tactics for feminists to utilize to spread awareness, disseminate information, and mobilize constituents. In this paper I examine the intent, usefulness, and potential impact of digital feminist activism in the United States by analyzing key examples of social movements conducted via digital media. These analyses not only provide useful examples of a variety of digital feminist efforts, they also highlight strengths and weaknesses in each campaign with the aim of improving the impact of future digital feminist campaigns.

  • Presentations Introduction Recent Feminist De
    Beyond the Generational Line: An Exploration of Feminist Online Sites and Self-(Re)presentations Yi-lin Yu National Ilan University, Taiwan Abstract This article deals with the feminist generation issue by tracing the transition from generational to non-generational thinking in recent feminist discourse on third-wave feminism. Informed by certain feminist recommendations of affording alternative paradigms in place of the oceanic wave metaphor to describe the rela- tionships between different feminists, this study offers the insights gained from an investigation with three feminist online sites, The F Word, Eminism, and Guerrilla Girls, in which these online feminists have participated in building up a third wave consciousness or a third space site through their engagement in (re)presenting their feminist selves and identities. In developing a both/and third wave con- sciousness, these online feminists have bypassed the dualistic understanding of sec- ond and third wave feminism and reached a cross-generational commonality of adhering to feminist ideology and coalition in cyberspace as a third space. Through a content analysis of their online feminist self-(re)presentations, this pa- per concludes by arguing that they have not only reformulated the concept of third wave feminism but also worked toward a new configuration of third space narratives and subjectivities that sheds light on contemporary feminist thinking about feminist genealogy and history. Key words third-wave feminism, feminist generation, feminist online sites, self-(re)presentation Introduction Recent feminist development of third-wave discourses has been bom- barded with a conundrum regarding generational debates. Although 54 ❙ Yi-lin Yu some feminist scholars are preoccupied with using familial metaphors to depict different feminist generations, others have called forth a rethink- ing of the topic in non-generational terms.

  • Branching Out: Second-Wave Feminist Periodicals and the Archive of Canadian Women’S Writing Tessa Jordan University of Alberta
    Branching Out: Second-Wave Feminist Periodicals and the Archive of Canadian Women’s Writing Tessa Jordan University of Alberta Look, I push feminist articles as much as I can ... I’ve got a certain kind of magazine. It’s not Ms. It’s not Branching Out. It’s not Status of Women News. Doris Anderson Rough Layout hen Edmonton-based Branching Out: Canadian Magazine for WWomen (1973 to 1980) began its thirty-one-issue, seven-year history, Doris Anderson was the most prominent figure in women’s magazine publishing in Canada. Indeed, her work as a journalist, editor, novelist, and women’s rights activist made Anderson one of the most well-known faces of the Canadian women’s movement. She chaired the Canadian Advisory Coun- cil on the Status of Women from 1979 to 1981 and was the president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women from 1982 to 1984, but she is best known as the long-time editor of Chatelaine, Can- ada’s longest lived mainstream women’s magazine, which celebrated its eightieth anniversary in 2008. As Chatelaine’s editor from 1957 to 1977, she was at the forefront of the Canadian women’s movement, publishing articles and editorials on a wide range of feminist issues, including legal- izing abortion, birth control, divorce laws, violence against women, and ESC 36.2–3 (June/September 2010): 63–90 women in politics. When Anderson passed away in 2007, then Governor- General Adrienne Clarkson declared that “Doris was terribly important as a second-wave feminist because she had the magazine for women and Tessa Jordan (ba it was always thoughtful and always had interesting things in it” (quoted Victoria, ma Alberta) in Martin).

  • An Argument for Intersectionality Originally, the Feminist Movement
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy By Charles Bengtson for the University of Minnesota First-Year Writing Program under the Department of Writing Studies 1 Transfeminism: An Argument for Intersectionality Originally, the feminist movement arose in opposition of the patriarchal society that oppressed women and perpetuated the social hierarchy that granted men additional rights. As time went on, feminist views diversified, and different branches of feminism began to take form. Naturally, these separate branches arose from conflicting perspectives on a myriad of issues. Recently, the issue at the fore front of the feminist movement is the place of trans people in women’s organizations and feminist spaces. Certain feminist platforms have taken an intersectional approach by seeking to include women from a diverse set of backgrounds, including transwomen and transmen, and others have gone in the opposite direction by developing radical and cisgender feminist platforms. By looking at a handful of arguments made for intersectionality in feminist theory, legal studies, and case studies, this paper will show that the acceptance of trans people into the feminist movement, including feminist spaces and women’s organizations, will further the trans community and feminist community’s agendas of dissolving the social hierarchy that oppresses them both. Since women have begun organizing to address the common injustices they face in society, feminist spaces have arisen correspondingly. “Transgender and Feminist Alliances in Contemporary U.K. Feminist Politics”, written by Deborah M. Withers, discusses how feminist spaces work to serve the feminist agenda, and outlines the debate on the trans community’s place in these spaces.
