Gender and Sexual Identity - how does it relate to Feminist Literary Theory? How is knowledge about gender constructed?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
What about books where racism and feminism are themes?  Here is a review of "The Bluest Eye" written by Nobel Prize Winner Toni Morrison.

                           

What is feminist theory? Have images and roles of men and women changed over the last 2centuries?      Does television help promote tolerance and acceptance of different ideas about masculinity and worth and value?

 Was he killed because of his sexuality or his planned coup against Hitler?
Is gender and sexuality the same thing? Should the private sexuality of people be an issue in their public life?
