Drawing upon Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex", Judith Butler's "Undoing Gender" and Firestone's "The Dialectic of Sex", what is a 'woman' and what best explains women's historical experience of oppression? Order Description compare, contrast, and/or synthesize theoretical, literary and visual insights in order to formulate an original argument. Discuss at least one historical (theoretical/philosophical) debate in your response. Should we define gender primarily in relation to biology, culture, performativity, or some combination thereof? Consider Laverne Cox's "Ain't I a Woman" speech within the essay. Please also situate the meaning of "woman" in relation to one contemporary legal or sociopolitical debate, such as politics of bathroom accessibility. Some questions to consider in the essay: How have feminist understandings of gender identity, sexual difference, and oppression evolved since Simone de Beauvoir's publication of "The Second Sex" in 1949? How do artists in contemporary popular culture (Beyonce, Nicki Minaj) continue to negotiate questions of oppression and empowerment around gender, embodiment, and sexuality? Which theoretical views of gender identity or sexual difference is most compelling, and why?
