VOICES of WOMEN
This unit is actually a multicultural one, so you will find works by Hispanic women and Asian (including Indian) women, too.
Brief Explanation
This unit opens by asking students to think about labels.
We read excerpts from Feminism is for Everybody by bell hooks.
We read short stories and poems by women of color.
Students respond to this unit by researching a topic of their choosing to deepen their knowledge of how different voices shape our perceptions of the world.
As a bonus, please do read the rationale in the African-American folder for that time I got “in trouble” for teaching Donald Glover’s This is America 🤬 I’m still bitter about it because it speaks to how much more freedom teachers need when it comes to curriculum. And it speaks to why we need more people of color (and women) in positions of authority.
