Description
The Feminist Thinkers Database is a website which features twelve case studies on prominent feminist individuals, symbols and events, both historical and contemporary. This database aims to show the progression of popular feminist discourse and women's rights from the mid-18th-century to the modern day. The Feminist Thinkers Database familiarizes readers with the diverse debates and perspectives related to liberal, radical, Marxist, postmodernist, postcolonial, critical race, xeno, cyber, and global feminisms. The subjects of the case studies have been chosen to reflect the diversity in feminist discourse and theory by featuring women of differing identities, races, sexualities, and lived experiences. The Feminist Thinkers Database will be used as a teaching tool accessible to students of Political Science 3207G: Women, Sex and Politics.
