For my StoryMap I chose to discuss the Feminism keyword. I focused mainly on a short history of feminism and then relevant examples of media, whether that be inspecting certain media through a feminist lens or discussing instances of feminism in media. I specifically focused on the ideas of female self-authorship vs. women defined by a patriarchal society. I discovered several ideas through my construction of this StoryMap, such as how the creation of media by women about women is an inherently feminist act, and how this media can be both covertly and overtly feminist. My StoryMap also focuses on some interesting terms and ideas that, while attempting to lift women up, can create problems for feminism. While this StoryMap is not an exhaustive analysis of feminism as it relates to media, it covers a wide variety of relevant information to define feminism as an ideology and a reality.
