Purpose of Blog!!!

Mission Statement of Blog

"To help spread awareness, growth, and acceptance of feminism through education."  The following is the purpose of the Blog and a table of contents of the dates and subject of the post to help everyone navigate the simplicity of the set up here.

Monthly Goals

It is my goal to provide every month at least four posts, but I will not limit myself to that number.  The four primary posts will include a Literature Summary, a Historical Moment, a Current Event, and a Definition in Feminism.

- Literature Summary:  A Literature Summary will be based from primary and secondary source documents written by feminists about a topic covering woman's issues, topics, and philosophies.  These summaries will include details concerning the primary points of the documents along with my own interjections.

- Historical Moment:  For the historical moments postings these will contain important historical events that has added to what feminism is today.

- Current Event:  Current Events will include events in the news throughout the United States and the World.  This may become the most controversial of the four primary monthly posts.

-  Definition in Feminism:  These posts will include hard to understand definitions in feminism that society does not understand.  The posts will include the definition, the meaning, and a societal example.  For example, many people in society feel that the term feminism is a word that brings up socially negative connotations instead of its real meaning - those that believe in the equality of women.
