Here's a hint:

If you're going to write a paper, on feminist logic, responding to a system first developed by a woman, and you, yourself, are not a woman: MAKE SURE YOU CITE THE ORIGINAL PAPER.

Don't cite another paper that's responding to a paper about the woman's paper, all by dudes.

“Some people may find it egregious that Alice Munro both dismissed the damage done to her daughter and used it to fuel her work. Yet the tug of this long-kept secret is there on the page and...once you see it, you find it everywhere.” —Anne Enright

Did you know that Franz Kafka graduated with a law degree in Prague, passing compulsory exams in constitutional law? He studied at the German-speaking sister of our Law Faculty, which operated separately from 1882 to 1945. Franz Kafka Square is just a 5-minute walk from us! 🐞
