Higher education for a woman was almost completely unheard of in the early twentieth century. However, in 1869, Emily Davies created the first college for women, Girton College. Davies had to be very careful since she tried to open “a college like a man’s.” She had to be sure that “masculine” subjects were a part of the college so women could get the same education as a man. Davies believed that if women were held at the same standard of education as a man, all achievements would be considered equally valid.

When arguing that emancipatory movements have been plagued by an antinomy between a politics of ‘redistribution’ and a politics of ‘recognition’, Nancy Fraser is specifically referring to the manner by which cultural recognition displaces socioeconomic redistribution as a remedy for injustice and the goal for political struggle. In order to thoroughly investigate this dilemma Fraser analytically distinguishes the different logics behind ‘redistribution’ and ‘recognition’, while situating them into current political predicaments. From her extensive analysis Fraser proposes two broad remedies that can cut across the redistribution-reconstruction divide.
Society considers strangeness as frightening, especially if it is sudden, loud, hostile, or violent.
