Stories Of Privileged Women’s Learning Critical Perspectives

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to examine how White upper-middle class women have learned critical perspectives in unjust power relationships in the United States. To accomplish the purpose, I interviewed two female graduate students and used the method of narrative analysis. Their stories of learning critical perspectives shows that it is important to meet Others and mentors for concreting and crystallizing their critical perspectives, and that privileged people need to experience on-going struggles in order to break self from bias.
