Introduction

Hi all- my name is Oriana Asano, but please call me Ana! I’m a junior at Baruch College and majoring in Advertising/Marketing with a tentative minor in Art History. I’m taking this class because I am a hardcore feminist, plain and simple. I haven’t had the opportunity to take a gender studies/feminist class and am curious and excited about what we’ll learn since all of my knowledge is self-taught and very informal. I’m hoping to gain more organized communication skills when talking about gendered issues, an opportunity to discuss these issues with other feminists (in real life!) and become more educated about feminist topics. Of course, I’m totally down to make some feminist friends. (For some reason, they seem hard to come by.)
