I have learned so much in the past few days about other cultures and how varying cultures and their differences relate to the fact that there is no single definition of feminism. It varies by cultures and sub-cultures within those cultures. With the insight gained from Tamarinda and Ingrid's discussion, Spivak's reading of Jane Eyre, and from the articles I have read for my paper, I now understand what colonial feminism is and its implications towards "other" cultures. I never thought colonialism and feminism would be used so closely, never mind in the same phrase. However, my eyes have been opened to traces of it in American politics overseas and at home. This section of the course is remarkable and I am happy that it is opening my eyes to so many things I haven't noticed before. It has encouraged me to take charge of my learning and to replace ignorance with knowledge.
