This source is a collection of essays which discusses patriarchal binary thought, patriarchal
thinking, and feminine writing. It presents the idea that females have become accostume to
patriarchal thinking and have adapted it themselves, in order to benefit women they must break
away from this way of thinking and change it. This was useful, because it provided evidence for
my argument, which deals with converting a patriarchal phrase into something encouraging.

Snyder, R. Claire. “What Is Third‐Wave Feminism? A New Directions Essay.” Signs, vol. 34,
This source is an academic journal essay by Snyder. It delves into what exactly Third-Wave
Feminism is and how it differentiates from Second Wave Feminism. This essay focuses on three
sections, women, postmodern philosophy, and gender equality. This was moderately useful in
terms of my argument, while it didn’t focus primarily on what my discussion was focused on, it
brought light to gender equality which is a key factor in feminism and the advertisement.
Tyson, Lois. Critical Theory Today: a User-Friendly Guide. Third ed., Routledge, 2015.
This source is a collection of theories by Tyson. It discusses multiple theories and provides key
theorists and concepts relating to each theory. The feminism chapter explains what feminism is
and provides main concepts such as traditional gender roles, getting beyond patriarchy, french
feminism, and multicultural feminism. In addition to this, it provides theorists including Simone
De Beauvoir, Christine Delphy, Colette Guillaumin, Helene Cixous, and Luce Irigaray. It
summarizes the works of these theorists and provides commentary on the pieces which makes it
easier for the reader who probably isn’t familiar with most of the works. This source is very
reliable and provides sufficient information. It helped shape and create the basis for my argument
and research.
