Group Literature Critiques

FEMINIST Group:
Audra, Katie, Alicia, and myself
Well, I really look forward to understanding our assignment better and conversing with my teammates. I read the excerpt in the class text for "Feminist Criticism" and feel kind of fortunate to have been put in this category. But, I am a bit overwhelmed about how to go about this project and how working with a team will be. Especially with one midterm in Algebra this week before Spring Break and then trying to keep in touch with my teammates for our final presentation. I'm sure we'll find a way to all be satisfied with our contributions.

This website gave a great background about the "birth" (oops, that would probably command a feminist response!) of a feminist critique and some major contributors in this area of critique.
Woman seem to need to write against the current...assert some of their own individuality and autonomy that only a woman can do. A male "feminist critic" K.K. Ruthven suggests that one not need to be a man to be a feminist and rejects the idea that feminism "is essentially women's work." In saying so, he almost reveals his "maleness" and lack of knowledge that men can be feminists, yet they cannot "be women!" Oh my goodness, this is a great category to be in! It should be interesting to get out of the bounds of physiology and assert that "male" knows only "male" thoughts...and "male" experiences. Well, of course, they can't help it!
Vocabulary we're bound to see more of:
Powerlessness
Self against self
Typical
Domination
Deceptive
Perception
Interpretation
Marginal
Ideology
Tradition
Contradiction
Symbolism
Postmodernism Feminism literary critique
Meta-narratives
Let's put on our seat belts...this is bound to be a bumpy ride and one heck of a PowerPoint presentation!
