Research Progress: Maternity Bias
I began drafting my first bibliography on the topic of modesty and how it is viewed as feminist or anti-feminist today. However, as I skimmed through relevant articles on Women’s Studies International and GenderWatch databases, I quickly realized that this topic is very limited in discussion and research according to these sites. I think part of the issue is that I had a narrow argument in mind for the cause of many issues today (that cause being differing opinions on the value or expectation for women to be modest), not an issue in mind that comes with it a plethora of causes for discussion. As such, I drastically shifted my…

Selfie Project: Book Relating to Research Interest
For my course research, I have decided to focus on the concept of female modesty from a feminist perspective, and analyze the differing conceptions of empowerment that comes with or is lost with modesty. I managed to find the book “Figuring Modesty in Feminist Discourse Across the Americas, 1633-1700” by Tamara Harvey in the basement book-shelves. Although I will most likely refrain from pulling the bulk of my research from this book, I believe it will be a good place to start in getting a historical backing on the differing opinions towards modesty from a feminist lens.

Selfie Project: Article from 1998
To form a better understanding of the resources available to us from SCU libraries (and databases), our first task was to find an physical copy of an article from the year we were born (1998 in my case). Firstly, please excuse my horrid attempt to smile in this picture (as I was extremely ill during that class period). Secondly, please note that the magazine Wired actually came in a book-bound form with multiple issues attached. A resource like this would be useful in my research for the remainder of the quarter, as I could physically flip through multiple issues in a single bound item.

Spelman Annotation – Feminist Theory
It seems as though there exists a paradox embedded in the North American Feminist Theory. All women experience similar expectations that come with womanhood – a “universal sameness” if you will. Yet at the same time each woman’s degree of experiences are influenced by their demographics. Thus, the conflict prevails: should feminists unify all women under a shared “womanhood” while concealing differences among women? Or should they instead focus on these intersections of class, race/ethnicity, ability, etc. in the identity and experiences of being a woman, risking inter-gender conflict and hierarchy? This is the very conflict Elizabeth Spelman addresses in her book, Inessential Woman. She calls for Feminist Theory to…
