Second Wave Feminism by Emily Hopkins https://padlet.com/ehopkins20181/e9l632ply8ir By: Emily Hopkins and Caden Hickman en-us 2019-11-12 22:03:38 UTC 2024-10-13 01:38:09 UTC hello@padlet.com All Women Together ehopkins20181 https://padlet.com/ehopkins20181/e9l632ply8ir/wish/410288794 Citation:“Catching the Wave: Photographs of the Women's Movement: Home.” Research Guides, guides.library.harvard.edu/schlesinger/catchingthewave. 1. This struck me and got my attention because of what is on her poster. 2. This is such a true statement and relates with the historical context. Women need to stick together and fight for equality together. They can relate to each other and understand what they are going through.3. Adrienne Rich's "Translations" states, "Certain words occur: enemy, oven, sorrow / enough to let me know / she's a woman of my time" (Lines 4-6). This is just stating that she can relate and all women are together. 4. This relates to the empowerment of women. ]]> 2019-11-12 22:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ehopkins20181/e9l632ply8ir/wish/410288794 The Torch ehopkins20181 https://padlet.com/ehopkins20181/e9l632ply8ir/wish/410855035  Citation: “Catching the Wave: Photographs of the Women's Movement: Home.” Research Guides, guides.library.harvard.edu/schlesinger/catchingthewave. 1. The togetherness of this photo is what really stuck out to me. The way they are all supporting one another, hand in hand, yet they are all different makes a statement. 
2. This relates to what we have read because a major part of this movement lines up with women, although diverse, standing together. There are women of all shapes and sizes, and of many different backgrounds coming together and standing for one another. This relates because they are all equal in this picture, and in that time, women were fighting to be equal and seen as the same. 
3.  Lucille Clifton writes, “these hips are big hips / they need space to move around in. / …they don’t like to be held back. / these hips have never been enslaved, / they go where they want to go / they do what they want to do” (Clifton lines 1-15).  This poem, “homage to my hips” talks about how this lady is not fitting into societies’ norms, and that is exactly what this picture represents. These women are all different, and they all do not show the “societal norm” that is expected of women. I think that Lucille Clifton best relates to what this picture represents because she often writes about going against the social norms, as well as standing up for oneself.
4. This relates to women empowerment, as well as diversity. In this photo, these women are standing as one and so they are breaking the barrier and they are showing that they are different, but equal, and they are stronger as one.

This image stuck out to me because when I saw it, I could almost feel the power radiating off of it. The image of these different women, walking hand in hand, emanating this power is just, for lack of a better word, captivating. 
2. This relates to the historical context of this time because these women were standing up and rallying for their right and equality. 
3. “Living in the earth-deposits of our history… /… her wounds came from the same source as her power” (Rich lines 1-17). This text is “Power” by Adrienne Rich. This text and this author connect to this because this text is all about the empowerment of women, and that is exactly what this picture is portraying. 
4. A theme that connects to this from the feminist movement is empowerment of females, as well as diversity. These women are not the same, yet they are equal. Also, they are standing together, facing their advisories with power, and showing that women are powerful.

Just seeing these photos really brought life and perspective. By seeing the pictures in action, guided along with reading the poems by these feminist writers, the feelings of that time period portray through these pictures to give the viewer clarity of the events that happened. ]]> 2019-11-13 23:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ehopkins20181/e9l632ply8ir/wish/410920287
