I think it was interesting to see how the views of early feminism changed down the road.  I wrote a paper about feminism a couple years ago and how it relates to Wonder Woman and some of the same issues were mentioned in my paper and the lecture like the idea of women needing to do all the house chores and how if they are assertive/aggressive they are either rude or dike.  It also reminds me of the double standard that women are forced to live under.  While it may be "ok" for a woman to sleep with her boss in secret once it's out to his superiors she's a whore and there's nothing wrong with what he did.   It was also interesting when the guest speaker spoke of how men tended to do the exact same pose everytime she tried to take a picture of them.
