Assignment 1: Davis, Ch3

Due Sunday, September 3rd, by midnight. Word count: 300 words. Please make sure everything is in your own words. Absolutely no quotes should be used. If you paraphrase from the text (from Davis or anywhere else), you must be sure to include the proper citation (either MLA or APA).

In chapter 3, Davis references many details pertaining to the history of the women’s movement.  Choose one detail, this can be either a historical figure or author she references or an event such as one of the anti-slavery conventions.*  In reference to this figure or event, what do you believe Davis is trying to tell us about the relationship of gender, race, and class?

*For this assignment, more points will be awarded to students who find a detail in Davis’s work that has NOT been addressed in prior posts.
