my two sources

my first source is
http://media.www.ndsmcobserver.com/media/storage/paper660/news/2008/02/27/News/Fashion.Is.New.Form.Of.Expression.For.Feminists-3237639.shtml
It is from a newspaper so it is authoritative. The news was issued by Feb. 2008 and the website was updated on 2009, so the sorce is quite current. the website has links to other news, so it is accurate. Although it is about personal opinion, I think it is helpful to my topic.

my sencond source is
http://drupal02.nypl.org/blogs/2008/07/31/pants-and-feminist
It is from the website of the New York Public Library, so it is quite reliable. the author of this post is formerly Curator of the Art & Architecture Collection and the
Curator of Exhibitions and Coordinator of Educational Initiatives at NYPL. It was posted on July 31, 2008, which is quite current. In the article, there are some links to more explination, so it is quite detailed. The author explained the relationship between pants and feminisim, there is no direct advertising and you can contact the author, so it is also objective.

my working thesis so far is fashion reflects feminisim mainly on three aspects, the color, the pattern and the accessory. Hopefully I can get the conclusion that the history of fashion in changing the color, the pattern and the accessory reflects feminisim. I will research on the history of the three aspects. and then compare with the history of feminisim.

Hi Shadow,

Okay, you've offered a couple of sites that are good jumping off points.

Let's talk about your working thesis. What you have now is a good start, it's like half of a working thesis (your thesis can be more two sentences). What else do you think you could add?

Your preliminary conclusion should be drawn from the preliminary research you've done so far. Thus, based on the research you've done so far, what conclusions can you draw?

For your method of research, where else, exactly, do you think you will find the information you need for this essay?

You need not reply here, but you'll need to include all of this information in the proposal you will present on Wednesday.
