Reflection of Sources

The whole process, I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved doing research because I was able to further build my knowledge and add new facets to the information I already knew. The most difficult thing was most assuredly the work cite only because it was the most time consuming item. If I had to do this project again, I would probably give myself a little more time to do the reflections and work cite because they are the most time consuming pieces that are not furthering the research. Doing this research I found how to better decipher which sources are reliable and which ones are not. I did enjoying using the schools search engines, but they did not always supply the information I was looking for, but it did help me understand what a reliable source was. A vast majority of the sources I found discussing the feminist movements were highly biased with more positive bias from the feminist movement the negative.

Reflection of Findings.

I really enjoyed building upon the information that I already knew about vintage fashion and the reasoning behind it, I was also surprised by many of the events that took place during the last one hundred years of women making waves and trying to change the world around them. It really empowered me and made me feel like I could do anything, no matter what title society wants to give me. After all of this, I have accumulated questions about the women I found within my research because I know these women did more than just that one moment that history remembers them for. I know these women had/have children, husbands, parents, ect and I wonder if the environment around them triggered what they did. Was it the stick that broke the camel's back that made them jump on the bandwagon and fight for women's right, or did they have no idea what they were doing and just did what they did because that was who they are? I love my topic, I think it really expresses who I am; even though now that I look back I can see a couple other topics I would have enjoyed doing, I still thinking I picked the right topic for who I am and for the class.
