our vision
Third wave feminism refers to the theories and activism of twenty-and thirty-something feminists. It is a generational term that encompasses a wide range of viewpoints and activism.
As third wave feminists, we are active in a variety of social and political issues, however, increasingly the topic of our sexual lives and choices has become a signature of our movement. Drawing from the lessons of first and second wave feminists, and redefining it on our own generational terms, we are engaged in exploring the many facets of women's sexuality.
Sexing the Political: A Journal of Third Wave Feminists on Sexuality is a tri-annual on-line journal for third wave feminists to theorize, satirize, politicize and organize about issues related to sexuality. It is intended to serve as a forum for the creative and radical political expression of third wave feminists from diverse cultural, sexual, and economic perspectives.
Krista Jacob, MS, a third wave feminist and mother of a one-year-old son, received her master's of science in women's studies from Minnesota State University, Mankato. She has presented at state and national conferences on issues related to violence against women, third wave feminism, motherhood, images of women in the media, abortion, and adolescent women's issues. Her work experience includes eight years as a rape/domestic violence victim advocate, and as an anti-violence educator.
Her work has appeared in Just Sex: Students Rewrite the Rules on Sex, Violence, Activism, and Equality, (Rowman & Littlefield), The Minnesota Women's Press, and numerous feminist periodicals. She is also the editor of We Will Choose: Writings on Abortion, a forthcoming anthology on reproductive freedom.
