    Description

    This poster presentation examines the impact of Aretha Franklin on Black feminism. Through her voice, she displays her call for equality for all women. This presentation will dive deep into how her song “Respect” has become a “feminist anthem” and the significant effect it had on the women during the late 60s throughout the civil and women’s rights movement. This poster presentation, through a close read of the song "Respect" will juxtapose the impact of specific lyrics to larger contexts of the feminist movement, particularly second wave feminism and the call for inclusion of Black women in the movement
