Breaking the Wave is the first anthology of original essays by both
younger and established scholars that takes a long view of feminist
activism by systematically examining the dynamics of movement
persistence during moments of reaction and backlash. Ranging from
the "civic feminism" of white middle-class organizers and the
"womanism" of Harlem consumers in the immediate postwar period, to
the utopian feminism of Massachusetts lesbian softball league
founders and environmentally minded feminists in the 1970s and
1980s, Breaking the Wave documents a continuity of activism in both
national and local organizing that creates a new discussion, and a
new paradigm, for twentieth century women's history. Contributors:
Jacqueline L. Castledine, Susan K. Freeman, Julie A. Gallagher,
Marcia Gallo, Sally J. Kenney, Rebecca M. Kluchin, Kathleen A.
Laughlin, Lanethea Mathews, Catherine E. Rymph, Julia Sandy-Bailey,
Jennifer A. Stevens, Janet Weaver, and Leandra Zarnow.
