III Year Lettorato Inglese -- corso di Peterson-More 2017-2018


Dear students, here are several links to additional articles about the "Me Too" movement. Originally I was going to add only the first two articles listed below. Those are the only two that you MUST READ. I have included the others as optional reading. The third article is longer than the others, but is highly recommended. It explains that the "Me Too" movement actually started over 10 years ago and gives a detailed account of its origins.

For homework you must read at least the first two articles provided here, and then write a short commentary in which you compare and contrast 2 or 3 of the articles you have read about the "Me Too" movement (including the article we read together in class this past Wednesday).


(1) The Washington Post
Me Too: Alyssa Milano elevates Harvey Weinstein conversation


(2) NPR
In The Wake Of Harvey Weinstein Scandal, Women Say #MeToo


(3) The Washington Post
The woman behind ‘Me Too’ knew the power of the phrase when she created it — 10 years ago


(4) MamaMia
Why Hollywood’s most explosive scandal took 30 years to surface.


(5) The Cut
Why the Harvey Weinstein Sexual-Harassment Allegations Didn’t Come Out Until Now
