Topic: The Collective, but Separate, Voice
Women’s activism increased significantly from the 1960s to the 1980s. What were the main issues for which women were fighting during the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s? Select one movement from this unit to highlight as part of your response to the Unit 7 Discussion Board (the Civil Rights Movement, Asian American activism, Chicana activism, or the American Indian Movement). How did this movement provide women with a voice? Think about your own experiences. Include a specific experience in your own life in which you were able to express your perspective or find your voice. How would this experience in your own life correspond to the experiences of women in the activist movement you have selected from this unit?
Incorporate specific connections to the Unit 7 Reading material as part of your response; include APA formatting (citations and references) to support your points.
