For homework, please find a feminist/womanist text from the US, listen/read/watch it, and be able to define in our next session what makes this work a feminist/womanist text.
(Example: "A Room of One's Own" is considered a classic feminist text by British/English writer Virgnia Woolf. We see echoes of her work (i.e. intertextuality) in Beyoncé's Super Bowl performance (slide 23 in the December 11 slides) when Beyoncé sings "best revenge is your paper," referring to cash. (Woolf writes, "That is why I have laid so much stress on money and a room of one's own.") Music videos, individual performances, song lyrics, ad campaigns, political cartoons, and photographs are examples of texts you might have a look at for this assignment.)
