The history of the second wave of feminism in the United States
demonstrates the potential for both serious social change and
seemingly intractable divisions among women. Race, ethnicity,
social class, sexual orientation, and religion have all been
dividing influences among women, shaping their various perspectives
on and relations to the women's movement. Yet collectively, women's
efforts--identified as second wave feminism--are seen as having
made a difference. This book highlights the lives and work of fifty
second wave feminists, women who have served as catalysts in the
developing feminist movement. A diverse group--playwrights and
politicians, grassroots organizers and scientists, poets and
theologians--they provide the reader with compelling stories of
individual women's lives, collective feminist struggles, and the
possibilities of feminist social change. Each woman's story
provides inspiration to those interested in the power of one, and
collectively, the stories show the range of motivations,
activities, and accomplishments of feminist thinkers and activists
today. Each entry contains three parts: a biographical portrait of
the individual, including information about education, family life,
and early activism; an analytical discussion, highlighting the
person's accomplishments and her relationship to U.S. feminism; and
a bibliographical section containing a selective list of the
subject's publications and writings about her and her work.
