It was a wonderful introduction on the vast studies on Feminism abd Social Justice. It made desire to learn more and to study how feminism as a movement has operated in my country in the last century.

very interesting to hear a perspective of somebody that actually lived the history. I liked discovering more about events I heard in passing and being challenged to think even more about these topics.

Professor Bettina's own experience around some of these subjects makes this course very interesting. If people want to learn or refresh their knowledge about those events and movements, this course is very well explained. Also, it gives an understanding of what intersectionality is.

This course was my very first course on Coursera, and I am so excited to look into more in the realm of social justice and feminism. The professor was great, and the lecture length was just right. My only complaint is that it was only a four week course! I wish it was longer

Interesante curso sobre feminismo y movimientos de justicia social en Estados Unidos, pero echo en falta referencias a otras zonas geográficas del mundo. Lo recomiendo para saber más del contexto de la lucha por la igualdad de sexos y el activismo social en Estados Unidos.

Ein sehr kompakter, übersichtlicher und gut organisierter Kurs.
Man konnte sich sowohl auf der theoretischen, als auch auf der praktischen Ebene informieren.
Ich hätte mir gewünscht, der Kurs hätte ein bißchen länger gedauert.
Vielen Dank für diese tolle Möglichkeit!!!

Although I am in disagreement of few concepts presented in the course overall course was extremely enlightening. I liked the eloquence & logic presented by the presentator due to which I couldn't wait to discontinue this course & completed it in a single day.

Amazing teacher with an incredible capacity of bringing both personal and historical appointments which made the course extremely rich. Nevertheless some questions were so specific about the U.S. that compromised my study, despite that really great course!

I think this course was very good and provided me with a lot of new background and history on the subject. I do think, though, that with everything that has happened in the past 2 years, the course could have been more recent/updated (was filmed in 2018).

It taught me soo soo much as what it means to be women in 2020 and how difficult the journey has been so far to live the kind of life that women live now which makes me respect it more and more and also encourages to spread awareness about the same.

It really tries to takes as much history as possible in order to gain a broader understanding of the topic. The lectures in which Bettina's opinion was included in the sense that she personally lived through those times are really interesting.

This course has enabled me to understand the historical background for the emergence of feminism. The greatest part was understanding different historical events from Ms. Aptheker who herself has remained part of those events. It was amazing.

Muito focado em história dos movimentos nos Estados Unidos da America. Todavia, muito valioso e exemplar. As perguntas poderiam ser não focadas na fala mas, nos acontecimentos de uma maneira mais expressiva.
Obrigada pelas fenomenais aulas!

I would have liked to find out more about feminism history, the waves of feminism and such, but I found this course very interesting. I learned about many things I did not know and I found the professor Aptheker a very formidable woman.

Only four stars not because of any lacking on Professor Aptheker's part, but because I wish the course had been updated to cover the insane 2020 landscape. Otherwise, very educational, especially her first video.

I especially enjoyed the lectures as well as the combination fo film material and lecture. However I wish it would have been a little more extensive. But I did learn a lot and I can highly recommend the course.

El curso se enfoca principalmente en el feminismo estadounidense, aún asi es un gran inicio si se quiere aprender por primera vez y adentrarse en el contexto y en la historia moderna del feminismo. Recomiendo.

It was great! It touched upon many specific issues in the history of feminism and I feel that I've learned a lot. I think it could be a longer and more inclusive course, but other than that, it was very nice!

I liked the course. I learned so many new things. The only problem was that the videos were too long and they got technical error while playing so I had to read the transcript to learn what was in the video.

Wish it was longer. I those short topic oriented weeks, I have learned a lot and would like to thank the professor for eye-opening points and all the suggestions for further research on the topic on hand.

It is very useful. I learnt about the females who struggled for their rights. And because of them now women are enjoying certain privileges. Without them every country will be still a developing country.

The course was presented in an enthusiastic way. The content can be related not only to speech therapy but also to events and situations in daily life. It leaves you with a real feel-good factor. Thankyou

I would have liked more resources outside of the lecture - readings and videos - to reinforce the topics being discussed. That being said, I loved the topics discussed and wished there were more of them!

I enjoyed how this course was structured and the ground it covered. However, I would like to see more diverse coverage of feminist philosophies also talking about other countries and the repercussions.

This course is a great introduction to the former and actual feminist context in the United States. I would recommend this course to those who want to start this magnificent journey towards Feminism.
