Consciousness-Raising through Teaching about the Global Oppression of Women

Debra Nelson-Gardell

Female students who came of age during the 1980s tend to resist the notion that they or American women in general are oppressed, and male students also see oppression as a thing of the past. The authors contend that ethnocen trism has contributed to such thinking. This article describes a teaching approach that incorporated content on women's status throughout the world. This material helped the students understand the dynamics of oppression, which, in turn, diffused resistance to consciousness-raising.
