UPDATE

Areas I am interested in that are relevant to contemporary society:

  • Violence against women/rape culture
  • Representation in the media
  • 'Everyday sexism'
  • Women and work
Research I need to do: A research plan needs to be made, but this is a rough outline
  • Contact experts - will contact many and see if any are willing to speak to me. For example, Laura Bates, writers from various feminism websites, etc.
  • Read some texts - ‘The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women’ by Naomi Wolf,  ‘Full Frontal Feminism’ by Jessica Valenti
  • Find some statistics - for example, the 2013 gender gap report
  • Use websites to keep up with current issues and developments (fbomb, feministing, rookie, f-word, UKfeminista)
  • Use of videos & speeches - TED talks
  • Possibility of surveying people on their attitudes towards women/feminism
