Evie Harvey - Gender Portfolio

CMST3750 Gender Portfolio - Evie Harvey

Uprooting and destroying sexism, in all its forms, is what I believe to be the most satisfying answer for "what is the goal of feminism?"

Through this framework, I identify the primary types and expressions of sexism, and explore instances of these types of sexism in society.

In discussing these artifacts, I tie in the concepts learned this semester in Gendered Lives, provide commentary, and explore the intersection of gender and sexism through my personal lens as a transfeminist.

I hope you find it to be enlightening and thought-provoking.
