Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies, grade: 2,3, University of Augsburg, language: English, abstract: In the past few years, the voices of feminist activists have become noticeably louder. Social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are popular tools used by them to channel their demands and express their opinion towards the public. Hashtags like #metoo have made their way into TV news all around the planet. Scandals by the former Ex-US President shocked the female community. These events draw attention towards a major issue in our modern society that has been even worse in history: gender equality. And not only gender equality on a man to woman basis, but also equality among individuals of the same gender regarding their skin color, religion, socio-economic status and education. Especially postcolonial feminism focuses on the effects of long-term influences of colonialism bringing disadvantages to women who are non-white and non-Western. Shobha Rao's book "Girls Burn Brighter" tells a story of two women going through society's restrictive norms and cruelties within the Indian and American.
