Different Wavelengths - Studies of the Contemporary Women's Movement (Paperback, New edition)

Today's grrrls are creating a new space for themselves within the feminist movement; a movement which commands scholarly attention. With a stellar list of contributors, this work transcends the personal stories to present a serious analysis and critique of the Third Wave phenomenon. Most young women have grown up enjoying the freedoms gained by the Second Wave of feminists of the 1970s and 1980s, and haven't necessarily experienced the same barriers as their mothers and grandmothers once did. The original essays in this collection seek to ground the shifting terrain of feminism in the 21st century. The contributors define and examine the complexity of the Third Wave by answering questions like: * How did the movement come about? * Are Third and Second Wave agendas really all that different? * How do women of color fit into the movement? A fascinating text, Different Wavelengths includes the first annotated bibliography to document third wave writing.
