Additional text
Gendered Voices, Feminist Visions is simply one of the best readers for use in an introductory course. My favorite feature of this text is how it attempts to connect the production of knowledge within the classroom to life outside of the classroom. The many 'Learning Activities' and 'Ideas for Activism' found in each chapter allow students to begin recognizing that what they study in the course has actual relevance and application to their own lives, their personal histories, and to their larger communities.
