Assignment for Tuesday, Oct 10.

The SCUM Manifesto, by Valerie Solanas.

Your assignment is to clear your mind, keep it open, and read this, twice.

Once, slowly, to get oriented.  It's challenging.

The second time, slowly, to get a sense of the continuities, themes, and rhetorical moves.

Google references you don't get.

Find at least FIVE points, or themes, that make you go:  Hmmmm...OK, that's worth thinking about.

I'm thinking about a syllabus.  Would you believe that it has been done, all this time?  It has.  I'm just insecure about it. For Monday, 201-244 in Feminism in Our Time.   Good, close reading, so we could have a discussion as good as Thursday's. You will notice that one of the readings is by the very famous write Kate Millet.  She just died this week.  Here's a link about her that David sent me:  HERE . And here's a link I caught, as I soaked in the interwebs: HERE .  (Where are those links you were going to send me, about the variety of forms of relationships???)
