At times like this it feels like everyone is put here purely to piss me off; sat in the “quiet” coach on a train to Birmingham, where no one on in the fucking coach is being quiet. I am now adding to that and pissing other people off as my super long red false nails are tap tap tapping on the keyboard. Im trying to make it not, but they are just too long. The couple several rows behind are alternately kissing and the man reading some bollocks aloud to the girl as if she is some mental retard.

I will initially look at the contributing factors that have created a feminist backlash and how feminism has moved on under its influence. I will be focusing on the generation of women defined by Third Wave Feminism, those born in the mid 1960s to mid 1970s. I will also look at the current cultural climate in which young people have grown up and the effect this had on them. I will then go on to investigate how feminist attitudes and pop culture have influenced young female artists. I will be looking specifically at two artists from the Third Wave generation. I am hoping to find out how young women are reacting to and dealing with… Read More "Feminism and Female Artists in The 21st Century"
