CAS Associate Professor Jeffrey Rubin and his daughter, Emma Sokoloff-Rubin, plan to create a high-school curriculum based on their research about the Brazilian feminist movement. Photo by Kalman Zabarsky quote:
“I was really amazed at the power of these women,” says Emma, now 15. “They had less education than I did, they had very few resources, and they did so much.”Two years later, the father-daughter team returned to Brazil to continue their research, profiling five women they viewed as crucial members of the growing Movement of Rural Women Workers. Using the lessons they learned about feminism, Brazilian culture, social movements, and each other, they are creating a high-school curriculum about how rural women fight for their basic rights in another part of the world.
