Terms of the Day for November 21


  • Third-wave Feminism – a term identified with several diverse strains of feminist activity and study, whose exact boundaries in the history of feminism are a subject of debate, but are generally marked as beginning in the early 1990s and continuing to the present.  The movement is marked by the notion that women are of "many colors, ethnicities, nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds"
  • Guerrilla Girls – an anonymous group of feminist, female artists devoted to fighting sexism and racism within the art world. The group formed in New York City in 1985 with the mission of bringing gender and racial inequality within the fine arts to light. Members are known for the gorilla masks they wear to remain anonymous.
