The 'waves' metaphor remains the dominant conceptual framework for
analyzing and explaining the movements for women's rights,
particularly in the United States but also throughout the world.
However a growing belief has emerged that the various forms of
civic and political engagement and institution-building employed by
women's rights activists should be recognized as essential to the
development of feminist thought and action throughout time, and not
just concentrated in these 'waves'. 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.
