At the seminar, you will work in pairs to answer the questions below. Please write down your answers here: The women's world movements notes

Based on the texts assigned to the Women’s world movement:

How does Peggy summarize her view of the women’s movement? Do you agree with her views? Do you find anything missing from them?
What women may be unintentionally excluded from women’s movements?
According to Peggy's text, what are the four characteristics of women’s world movements?
What are Gita Sen’s three waves of the women’s movement? Can you identify a fourth and even a fifth?
Based on Corredor’s and Peggy’s text, can antigender mobilizations and campaigns worldwide be seen as women’s movements or a counter-movement? Why/why not?
Can you identify one movement of today that you believe in and would consider joining?
Can you identify one movement - past or present - that seeks to transform existing social institutions and structures? Which one and in what way does it/did it do so?
Corredor suggests that there are four fundamental conditions that give rise to countermovement activity. What are they?
Corredor writes: “Sensitizing ourselves to ways in which feminist and LGBTQ+ social movements and antigender countermovements inform each other (will enhance feminist and LGBTQ+ knowledge repositories, augmenting these social movements’ capacity to transform gender and sexual relations around the globe)” (Corredor 2019: 631). Can you identify a case in which this is evidently taking place today, or has the potential of taking place? What is the evidence of the case (e.g. how has it played out?)?
