“Topics in Feminism.” Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 15 March 2004. 3 April
2008 http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminism-topics/
The “Topics in Feminism” entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy explains the most common uses of the term “feminism” along with alternative views of feminism, including more radical and more conservative positions. As the article defines it, feminism is the “movement which seeks justice for women and the end of sexism in all forms.” The article explains various beliefs and specific movements within feminist thought. It notes the various scopes of feminist belief, and explains both the normative and descriptive accounts of feminism. It also explains the diversity among feminists, the fact that many individuals do not agree on what precisely feminism is or what should result from the feminist effort. The article also notes the most basic principles of feminism, which nearly all feminists do share, and addresses the fundamental female concern of sex-based injustice. Analysis of the conflict within the movement is also supplied. The article also notes some important sub-topics in the field of feminist philosophy, and it briefly summarizes their importance and supplies links to articles on these topics.
This article is extremely relevant to the research topic as it explains extensively the themes, goals, and movements within feminism. Because a discussion of divorce as raised by Kramer vs. Kramer almost necessarily raises the issue of feminism and its influence on Joanna (as representative of mothers as a whole), the topic is crucial to forming an argument regarding the research question. In addition, Kramer vs. Kramer was released when the “second” wave of feminism was coming to an end and dramatic shifts in social expectations were occurring. Such information is essential to placing the movie in its appropriate historical and social contexts.
