1. What are some aspects of modern feminism? 2. MO[DERN] [FRAME] 3. Dawn Lundy Martin 4. [|link] 5. Googled feminist poems because poems and I need some poem sources. Ms.Magazine is like the original feminist text basically, so I figured this would be good. I had five poems to choose from. This was the first one I found that I could decipher the most easily. 6. SOAPSTone: Subject: injustices on women, particularly how black women are affected by society Occasion: she feels unequal Audience: men, women, black women, black and white people Purpose: speak of injustice, to show a want for change Speaker: a woman, a black woman, someone who is oppressed Tone: Whimsical, pleading, protesting 7. Martin protests "social norms" or expectations, typical gender roles by using metaphors and strong imagery 8. I am a little unclear exactly what the message is, but generally I would say oppression via forms of social stigmatism... 9. I think her overall theme is correct, I agree with it. 10.



1 " " 2."Phenominal Woman" 3 Maya Angelou 4. http://www.womensweb.in/2012/07/feminism-and-poetry/ 5.Website 5/28/14 6. SOAPSTone Subject: beauty, self worth Occaison: Men are wondering Audience: men, women, maya angelou, poets Purpose: express a deeper kind of beauty which is linked to traits but also outward appearance/sexuality Speaker: Maya Angelou, poet, feminist, woman, someone who is used to the concept of sexuality Tone: Proud, bold, 'feminine' 7. She insinuates that women have a deeper beauty which is on a different level men have not always comprehended, but also links this towards attitude and some sexuality, implying that she might be considered "sex-positive" to modern feminists. This is a new trait of third-wave feminism. 8. Beauty is actually linked to attitude, and women have a deeper beauty that extend even to their surface beauty; sexuality is acceptable and a natural part of womanhood. 9. I guess I believe her.... She seems very empowered and she must really sincerely believe what she is saying. 10. //"It’s in the arch of my back, // //The sun of my smile, // //The ride of my breasts, // //The grace of my style." //
