Introduction
Welcome to the African American Feminist Webquest.
This webquest will help you learn about different feminist writers.
This will also help you understand the process of power and patriarchy and how it goes against black women.
Task
My peers should be able to..
- identify these influenctial writers.
- evaluate their works.
- break down the process in which the patriarchy works against them.
Process
The system has constantly worked against black people and especially black women not only keeping us away from quality education but from sustainable resources to live our lives . Women like Zora or Maya wrote not to escape their pain but because of it. To shape and change society as we know it.
Evaluation
What were their life circumstances?
How did they over come them?
