This unit and the next (and final unit) go together. This unit touches on the history of the feminist movement with a focus on activist strategies that have been effective (or haven't). The next unit will focus more on the students actually being activists and creating a social change project. We will study several strategies in that unit as well, as they will serve as models and idea-generators for the students as they think about what they want to do for a final project.
