Women at the Intersection of Tradition and Modernity 1 of 2

Women at the Intersection of Tradition and Modernity features young South African students participating in Dr. Sheila Meintjes' Feminist Theory and Politics course at the University of Witwatersrand. Inspired by the themes revealed during the "Black Feminist Thought" seminar conducted by visiting lecturer Shatema Threadcraft, the documentary will demonstrate how this generation of women think about, negotiate and/or reinterpret their role in post millennial South African society. In highlighting the importance of democratic disagreement in a vibrant, engaged population gender, class, and ethnicity will be explored by an extraordinary group of individuals representing myriad socio-economic, ethnic and regional backgrounds.

I LOVE THIS!

I wish the Wombman would stop trying to fight for equality with men. Men are not equal to us, in no way or shape. One of us Birth Life the other is the Offspring. Cause and Effect. What I would really like to see is women Fight for the right to be RESPECTED AS WOMEN. At the root of Patriarchy is the fear of women. It is alot deeper than women trying to be "equal"

Things change. Be happy women! Let nature take its course. Oh and its not all white peoples fault for how we are. Its a lot our fault for being weak and afraid to fight and be ourselves

Whatever you do reject European Feminism at all cost. This western white woman's ideology has all but poisoned and destroyed black american women almost literally.
