Introduction

Hi everyone,

My name is Genevieve and I’m a junior at Hunter College.  I’m majoring in History, with minors in German and Music.  While I have not yet decided on an area of concentration for my History major, I am very interested in religious interactions.

I became interested in feminism a few years ago.  It grew gradually from issues that made me vaguely uncomfortable or angry, without knowing why, to broader problems that I could understand and explain.  I feel that I’m constantly discussing feminist issues, although I haven’t yet taken a Women & Gender Studies class.   There are still issues I can’t fully discuss, but that brings me to what I hope to gain from this course.  I hope to gain the knowledge and understanding I need to understand how issues facing women have been changed or adopted using technology.
