To answer this question, please discuss these scandals in relation to Regan’s political and economic stance. Please cite and discuss two specific examples from this week’s class materials.

3) This class has discussed the histories of women’s organizing through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries — these include women’s suffrage movement, Second-Wave Feminism, and this week, “kitchen-table” activists for the conservative movement (McGirr). How can we observe and understand the diversity of women and their organizing from these historical cases, in terms of race, gender, sexuality, class, and political ideologies?
