Hey everyone! My name is John Norris and i'm sophmore German major. I was bron here in Ames and ever since i have stayed. This class sounded appealing from the very start when i heard that women's studies was being crosslisted with german. I think it will offer a very interesting perspective on the nature of women in society.

The text "Of Woman Borg" went into much detail of how technology has affected the view of women in the past and the present. In my eyes, the theme of the text is how the idea of sex has such an impact on the view of woman, that we have incorported technology and violence for entertainment. Key words that made me think this were "android eye candy" and "bionic barbie".
