Abstract

This paper adopts a creative way in self-studying through a lens of feminism while juxtaposing Western and Eastern philosophical ideas in education. The paper is divided by five parts, known as Motif, Prelude, Theme, Variation I, Intermezzo, Variation II and Half Cadence. The part of Prelude serves as an opening of the entire monologue. Theme includes the author’s self reflections and autobiographic studies. Following up is Variation I, Intermezzo and Variation II that revisited the topic of Androgyny, and discussed the realization of deeper level Feminism. Indicating the growing nature of the topic of philosophy and feminist thinking in education, the monologue ends at Half Cadence where the author expressed her struggles and concerns over the power of words.
