Hi, everyone It's not a short piece, but I use Sally J. Scholz's: Feminism: A Beginner's Guide as one of the texts in my lower level feminist philosophy courses (along with the, unfortunately no-longer-in-print, Feminist Philosophy Reader). Perhaps just the first chapter or two could work for a short reading assignment. In that chapter, Scholz discusses various definitions of feminism (e.g., feminism as a challenge to unjust power dynamics, feminism responding to inequality, etc.). The second chapter surveys various approaches (liberal, Marxist, poststructuralist, etc.).

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 ****************************************************** Dr. T.L.
