In response to the readings, I think they were helpful in setting out somewhat of a guide line for our papers. I have a better understanding on exactly what we're supposed to be doing for the assignment. To comment on the actual reading, I didn't think that the Girl Power piece was anything new. It was a common arguement that I have heard over and over again, and not just from taking women's studies classes. The way her paper was set up though, did help me get an idea for my paper.
