First of all - I'm Angela

First of all - I'm Angela Davis (the third woman in history to appear on the FBI's most wanted list). That's awesome. And now I definitely want to know more about her. Funny how that works.

Anyway, for the remainder of the course I have some ideas:

I was at work the other day and this guy was reading American Psycho and was reading passages aloud (which were of course immensely disturbing) but then he told me that it was actually a feminist text, which doesn't make any sense to me. Now I really really want to read it, and in the event that it actually is a feminist text I think it'd be really interesting to read/discuss in class. Potentially a bit over the top for some though.

And I would LOVE to read Middlesex for class. I read it on my own and it blew my mind, now I'd love to read it again in an academic setting.

Feminist films would also be really interesting. Not documentaries, per se, but films meant for art's sake.

I also agree with Elizabeth319 in that I don't want anymore Spivak-esque pieces, but definitely more along the lines of Helene Cixous.
