Is a male-dominated global political power-structure unavoidable? Why or why not? Use terms central to the chapter's coverage of feminism to assist your analysis.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Identify the historical events that contributed to the upholding of a male-dominated power-structure.
2. Recall the fundamental breakthroughs women have made in becoming integrated into that power-structure, events such as the election of female government leaders, the integration of women into militaries, the founding of the Women's Peace Party, the mandating of greater inclusion of women and attention to gender in UN peacekeeping and reconstruction, etc.
3. Explain how these breakthroughs have come about, and how the future might bode well or negatively for gender equality among the global political power structure.
4. Discuss feminist scholarship; difference, liberal, and postmodern feminism; difference and autonomy; suffrage; the gender gap, and other terms key to feminism to assist analysis.
5. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
