Please answer one of the following two questions in 750 words or less. (Less than 3 pages), double spaced).
For theorists in the early 20th century, both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and W.E.B. DuBois were very progressive theorists of gender and race. Yet, as we look back on them through history we also see that their definitions of race (Dubois) and gender (Gilman) are somewhat problematic. Describe ways in which Gilman’s use of gender and DuBois’s use of race were both progressive for their times and somewhat regressive when we look back at these definitions through history. Are there any similarities between Gilman and DuBois’s definitions? Please give examples to support your argument.
