Documentary: Dolores
(Film Platform)
Source: Academic Video Online
Dolores Huerta is among American history's most important yet least-known activists. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers’ unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight
for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century - and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother-to-eleven, the film
reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one's life to social change.

perspective, which it also interrogates as a practice.

Journal Article: Modern
Articulations of Gender Parity: the ‘New Woman’ Debate in the British Victorian Era and the Modern Muslim World
Source: ProQuest Central
This article articulates the astounding consistencies, despite different times, religious contexts and countries, across the approaches to the feminist consciousness in Victorian Era Britain and the modern Muslim world.
The challenges include:
-
Intimate and long-standing linkages between scriptural traditions and the social order
-
Interpretative legacies on women and their 'nature' that solidified cultural understandings of gender
-
The relationship of these legacies to structures of power, namely patriarchy, resulting in limitations placed on women and their access to modernity
In response, women sought the undoing of regressive, patriarchal notions of gender and gender roles that suppress women in culture and law. They sought more favorable religious and political expressions to support women's progress in their respective societies.
