How interesting, thanks for sharing with the list, Barb!  I've used Gould's -Gender- and, other years, just selections from it. 
 
The pattern that has emerged for me over the last ten years is to include Mary Briody Mahowald's Philosophy of Woman at the beginning, and to include Susan Brison's _Aftermath_ at the end.  I end on Aftermath because after reading it, my students leave the term convinced that feminist philosophy is a matter of life and death, which it is.
 
The middle of the term is the part of my syllabus that I keep re-arranging, and although I try to resist using 'textbooks' given the cost to the students, this year the middle of the syllabus will be taken up with selections from Bailey & Cuomo's _Feminist Philosophy Reader_ (McGraw-Hill).  I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Alison,

I recently taught an Honors course in feminist Philosophy (HNRS 260).  The students were smart and diligent workers but had little to no background in philosophy and, with the exception of one students, no background in feminist theory.  The course went quite well (well received by the students) and the students seemed to be able to understand the theories.   As is my typical challenge when teaching any course for the first time, I tried to do too much.  I will, somehow, try to cut the material by a third the next time around.   I hope the syllabus is helpful, even in bits and pieces.

Subject: 300 level Feminist Ethics Syllabus

 

Dear FEAST-list members: 

 

I'll be teaching a 300-level ethics course for both philosophy and Women's

and Gender Studies students this year.  As with cross-listed courses,

most  of philosophy students lack a feminist background, and most of the 

WGS students will lack a basic background in Western moral theory. 

 

Does anyone have a syllabus that might work for this demographic, that

they might share with me? 

 

Thanks!

 

Alison
