Teaching Examples from the GFP Archive

Using GFP interviews to compare women's experiences, whether in different national settings or within a single setting (e.g., McGuire, Stewart, & Curtin, 2010), provides students with opportunities to imagine groups in more complex ways. For example, although many of the interviewees from India are Hindu, among the scholar activists represented in the group of Indian feminists, D. Sharifa is a Muslim feminist actively engaged in efforts to create a female-friendly mosque. Equally, Flavia Agnes describes her struggle within Indian feminist circles to be recognized and accepted as Christian. In contrast, among the mostly Christian Polish interviewees, Bożena Umińska discusses the intersection of her Jewish identity and her feminism within an anti-Semitic and misogynist context. Examining the experience of religious minorities in these different contexts can illuminate commonalities across very different identities and experiences, as well as differences between feminists in a single context.

Less routinely discussed intersectional invisibilities are described by other scholar-activists in the GFP. For example, Li Huiying (China site) talks about the difficulty of being a single woman in Communist China with no way to make a claim for private domestic space, and Grace Lee Boggs (U.S. site) defines herself at the intersection of her ethnicity and gender (an Asian American woman), but also describes herself as old, one of the most invisible subordinate identities in the United States.
