liberal feminism

assignment (600 words minimum!) in answer to ONE of the following questions. Remember to rely on your text and to answer all parts of your chosen question! OPTION 1 One vein in feminist thought, as illustrated in this week’s reading by Friedan and NOW, is often referred to as “liberal feminism” because of the way in which it leverages the liberal tradition in the service of women. For this assignment, use Kramnick and Lowi’s description of liberalism alongside Friedan’s excerpt from The Feminine Mystique and the NOW Bill of Rights to identify and explain at least three specific ways that liberal feminists employ the tenets of liberalism in their arguments for women’s equality. OPTION 2 As the past weeks’ readings have illustrated, social justice movements are rarely monolithic in their goals and strategies. In fact, many would argue that referring to women’s struggle for equality as “the feminist movement” is at best inaccurate and at worst highly problematic. Using 1) either Friedan or NOW and 2) the Redstockings and 3) either hooks or Crenshaw, show: a. how these different feminists analyze the root of women’s oppression. b. what strategies they put forth for creating full equality for women
