Considering Patriarchy as Something Larger than Ourselves
The materials selected for required readings may be new for you and quite challenging. They were chosen to stimulate your thinking. Each week choose one of the readings that has an asterisk (*) and pick out an idea/quote/concept/sentence/argument that stands out for you and explain why it was interesting for you.

Your level of engagement will be assessed by the reasons you give for why the point/idea/sentence etc… was interesting to you.
