Blog for Week 1


My name is Jonnette, but everyone calls me Jonnie. My husband is in the Air Force and that is why we are living in OK now. I'm not sure where our next assignment will be, but we are pretty sure we are going to move again sometime this summer. We have a 4 year-old daughter who thinks she is turning 16 and I love being her mom. I'm in my last semester of college and hope to have my degree in Human Relations by the end of summer '09. I'm taking Intro. to Women's Studies because I have taken so many WS courses in the past that my advisor pointed out that all I need is this course to have a minor in WS. I have been in college for about 6 years and I am looking forward to hearing what the new generation of students feel about gender issues.
5 Questions...
1.) What do I do with a minor in WS?
2.) Did Hillary Clinton start the 4th wave of feminism when she ran for President, or did she unearth gender issues that many beleive were extinct?
3.) Are American women truly given credit for having agency?
4.) How do women get more men involved in "women's issues"?
5.) Will this class offer extra-credit opportunities? :-D
