About Gender, Sexuality and Feminism

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The page is built around feminist theory and gender identity. The mind map on the contribution of feminist theory to our understanding of society links feminism to education, crime and deviance, religion, the family and social policy. Other maps look at Queer Theory, Radical Feminism, Simone de Beauvoir's Theories, Crisis of Masculinity and Gender Equality in NZ.

There is also material on violence and control, including the maps on FGM and domestic violence, and the maps on Heidensohn: Patriarchal Control and Carlen: Class & Gender Deals.

Where to start

  1. Open the map on feminist theory and the contribution it makes to society, to see how the topic fits together.
  2. Move to the Strands of Feminism and Different waves of Feminism flashcards to fix the main positions.
  3. Use the Explanations of gender inequalities deck, which pairs thinkers such as Murdock and Parsons with their perspectives.
  4. Take the quiz I am Woman, Hear Me Roar, which matches each feminist movement with its aims.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same idea. Where you get answers wrong, go back to that branch of the map. Flashcards suit key terms: the Week 2 WGSS Key Terms deck covers ideas such as patriarchy, intersectionality and privilege. Notes such as the ones on evidence of gender inequalities, for female and male disadvantage, give you points to use in written answers.

Who it suits

The mix runs from school-level material, some of it tied to A-level and GCSE Sociology, to university course decks and quizzes. University students and professional candidates will find chapter-based decks and midterm sets. School students can focus on the theory maps and the key studies flowchart. Teachers can pick out ready-made material to share.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Stratification and Inequality strand of Sociology. Gender sits alongside the other ways society divides people, so the resources keep returning to power, work, family and identity.

Pick one map, work through a quiz, then make a few flashcards of your own.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map on the contribution of feminist theory to our understanding of society. It links feminism to education, crime, religion, the family and social policy, so you see the whole topic before moving to flashcards and quizzes.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking that a resource matches your own course.

Which quizzes are good for feminist movements?

Try I am Woman, Hear Me Roar, which asks you to match first-wave and second-wave feminism with their aims. Radical feminism is a separate quiz, and How well do you know your feminist terms? tests vocabulary.

Are there resources for school exams?

Some listed resources mention A-level Sociology and GCSE Sociology. School students can use the theory maps, the Gender: Key Terms and Studies flashcards and the Gender: Key Studies flowchart, then check their own specification.

What topics beyond feminism are covered?

There are maps and decks on Queer Theory, sexual identities, masculinity, gender and environmental change, FGM, domestic violence and sexual assault. Notes also cover prostitution and human trafficking, and CEDAW and Saudi Arabia.

What if I cannot find what I need?
