I did a philosophy of feminism course, and it was reading-heavy too. Someone told me this was not uncommon for the discipline, so there you go. There were lots of references to other works by non-feminist philosophers, but it wasn't a problem because most feminist writers have their own read on these works anyway; it was like a built in primer for whatever the topic of the week was. That course was probably my favorite philosophy course that I took, partially because the readings were so interesting, but mostly because the professor rocked hard.

Have fun stormin' da patriarchy! (Think it'll work? It would take a miracle...)
