I was also Angela Davis. Interesting, since I don't consider myself so "communist" and maybe not so into the "black power" movement either. I was pretty surprised as I was sure I'd get someone like Susan B. Anthony, not really sure why.

Anyway, one thing I've really enjoyed about this course is the diversity of readings we've done and I would like to see that continue. It might be interesting to mix it up during the 2nd half of the course by throwing in different types of texts, like a film or play (the "Age of Arousal" one looks really interesting...) and doing some more poetry as well. It'd be interesting to see how the message changes (or doesn't change) depending on the medium in which it's presented as well as how it changes (or doesn't change) for the reader of the "text."

I was intrigued by the idea of reading "Wide Sargasso Sea" since I read it long ago but didn't really understand it so it'd be nice to be able to return to it with a better frame of reference.

Readings focusing on other perinent issues of feminsim like sexuality and class would add another dimension to the class so reading about transgender and intersexuality may nicely complicate even more our conception of "feminism" and what it means to be a "feminist." I think it also makes sense considering we've already looked at the interaction of ethnicity and race with feminism.
