This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. Charles Fourier, a French philosopher, is credited with having coined the word "féminisme" in 1837. Fourier believed that all important jobs should be open to women on the basis of skill and aptitude rather than closed on account of gender. He spoke of women as individuals, not as half the human couple.  N E W P R O D U C T D E V E LO P M E N T LA U N C H P R E S E N TAT I O N DEC K The w o rds "féminisme " a n d "féminist" first a p p e a r e d in F r a n c e a n d the N e t h e r la n d s in 1872.

It looks into how the theorists call the waves of female character may be feminism empowered or discriminated against.  The first comprised women's suffrage movements of the 19th and early-20th centuries, promoting women's right to vote. Notable women in this period include writer Mary Wollstonecraft (A Vindication of the Rights of Women, 1792), activists like Susan B. Anthony and Victoria Woodhull.  The second wave, the women's liberation movement, began in the 1960s and campaigned for legal and social equality for women. Writers like Simone de and Elaine Showalter established the groundwork for the dissemination of feminist theories dove-tailed with the American Civil Rights movement  In or around 1992, a third wave was identified, characterized by a focus on individuality and diversity. The fourth wave, from around 2012, used social media to combat sexual harassment, violence against women and rape culture; it is best known for the Me Too Movement.  ARE THE METHODS USED IN THIS READING APPROACH? There can be 5. 1. interpreting the way that women characters are described in novels, stories, plays, biographies, and histories, especia ly if the author is male; 2. decoding how the readers own gender influences the reading and interpretation of a text; 3. unraveling how women autobiographers and biographers of women treat their subjects, and how women are treated as secondary to the main subject; 4. analyzing multiple works by a single author (often female); AND 5. examining how relationships between men and women and those assuming male and female roles are depicted in the text, including power relations. TIPS IN USING FEMINIST CRITICISM IN READING 1.

In "The Story of an Hour" we are told that the protagonist suffers from a heart condition and she was carefully informed of her husband Brently's death. In the course of an hour we see the protagonist named Louise as a weak person become into a stronger woman. She contemplates her newly found independence and is delighted over thought of being free. This surprising reaction reflects the feeling women had in the late 19th century had towards marriage. Through this, Chopin voices that marriage meant men had total control over women. The women were not allowed to have their own identity, thoughts or purpose. In Louise's case, her husband’s death frees her from the restraint of marriage. Her once forbidden pleasure of independence will no longer hold her back. For just an hour, Louise experiences and praises her freedom that is no longer chained to her husband's control. As she looks out the window we realize how marriage made her into someone who did not have an identity. She has lived a life that has given her limitations that she was only her husband's wife and nothing more. She believed for a brief moment that she no longer have a man that will "[bend her] in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature." This demonstrates that patriarchal ideology that was the norm in the late 19th century.  Louise was an example of an average housewife who was not allowed her own identity and freedom. I believe Kate had connection with the story and the main character. When Louise felt a brief moment of sadness of her husband’s death and then have it replaced with happiness, this reveals how truly Kate felt when she heard the news of her husband’s death. Kate felt restrained in her marriage, even though she truly loved her husband, she was not happy. Even though, "The Story of an Hour" is a fiction story, it speaks loud about the life of women in the late 19th century. Review the assigned story “Desert flower” South Africa HER STORY ISTHAT OF SURVIVAL FROM WHAT THEYCALLFEMALE GENITALMUTILATION (INFIBULATION) & FROM A CULTURE... WARIS DIRIE Desert Flower: The Extraordinary Journey of a Desert Nomad By Waris Dirie and Cat hleen M iller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evUKsc0XpCs&t=6608s https://w w w.youtube.com/w atch?v=0K9e3quF1pM  PERFORMANCE TASK 2.3 Directions: After reading the text, answer the following questions.
