Secondly, I discuss how marxism and essentialism share the same predicament of falling into the `patriarchal trap' of narrowingly defining women's identities, their roles in society, and omitting or undervaluing their contributions. Finally, I give an exegesis of the events of the `Royce-Abbot Affair.' I provide an understanding of these events by drawing on wide-ranging interpretations, critiquing each account, and offering my own interpretation. 2012-08-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/914 https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1922&context=theses Theses OpenSIUC Abbott Foucault intersex Royce
