Feminism (bell hooks)- Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. B.) Sisterhood- Encourages women to support each other in order to end sexism.

Instead, sisterhood encourages women to reach out to each other and end their own sexist behavior by being nicer to other women. V.) What is Planned for the Course (7:40-7:45) A.)
