    When I first met Kenzie, I honestly would have never thought that we would or could possibly get along. I am very stubborn, loud and opinionated and she is very quiet with her opinions and would rather hold back her statements than say them aloud for fear of judgment. Quickly, I did become friends with her, and I was very aware of our differences, but throughout this interview I have realized she has opened my eyes to a whole new perspective. Before this interview I would not have considered myself a feminist, because I was one of those close-minded adolescents that considered feminist as “crazy man-haters”. Feminism is a new term in my life, but I am excited to explore and find my spot in this movement, and I owe it all to this interview with…

    Joan Scott’s Gender and the Politics of History attempts to theorize gender and argues for its use as a category of analysis for both social and political history.
