I start my feminist theory/philosophy class with Gloria AnzaldĂșa's "La
Conciencia de la Mestiza" from Borderlands/La Frontera. We read it
together in the first class and then discuss it. It's not an overview,
but it is short, brilliant, provocative, accessible, a model of
intersectionality and contextuality from the get-go with which to frame
the class (after that we take a historical approach, back to
Wollstonecraft, thence to De Beauvoir, Marxism, Structuralism, Black
Feminism, etc. before going on to some themes). Students respond really
well to it.
Best,
Emma

Hello,
I was wondering if any of you have had success providing lower-level
feminist theory students with an introductory piece on "what is
feminism/feminist theory/philosophy?" and if so, what piece you might
recommend.
I teach a wide range of majors in an upper-level Feminist Theory
undergraduate course at a state university. My students tend to be
motivated but do not necessarily possess any background in philosophy
or theory.
Thanks in advance,
Talia
