Hello everyone, my name is Krysten Hicks! I am in Dr. McGinnis’ English 1102 class. Our course theme for this semester is oppression and my group theme is women's oppression in our current society. For my Project 2 topic, I will be discussing Oppressed Homeless women, in today’s society. My topic will tie into Marion Young's, Five Faces of Oppression. In the words of Marion Young, "No matter which definition you use, oppression is when people reduce the potential for other people to be fully human". Some may feel that being a homeless women is a personal problem, one has created for themselves. I will be using data collected by scholarly resources to shed light on the importance of this issue. By either reading my script or listening to my podcast, I'm hoping to take you on a journey exposing the rawness homeless women face in today's society. There is more than what meets the eye when we are driving down the street in our car and we happen to pass a homeless woman standing on a street corner.
