In Feminist Reflections on Childhood, Penny Weiss rediscovers the
radically feminist tradition of advocating for the liberatory
treatment of youth. Weiss looks at both historical and contemporary
feminists to understand what issues surrounding the inequality
experienced by both women and children were important to the
authors as feminist activists and thinkers. She uses the writings
of Mary Wollstonecraft, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Simone de
Beauvoir to show early feminist arguments for the improved status
and treatment of youth. Weiss also shows how Charlotte Perkins
Gilman, a socialist feminist, and Emma Goldman, an anarchist
feminist, differently understood and re-visioned children's lives,
as well as how children continue to show up on feminist agendas and
in manifestos that demand better conditions for children's lives.
Moving to contemporary theory, Feminist Reflections on Childhood
also looks at how feminist disability theory is well-positioned to
recognize the voices of children, and how queer theory provides
lessons on contemporary trends that provide visions and strategies
for more constructive adult-child relations. Weiss, who includes
her own experiences as a mother and foster mother throughout the
book, closes her distinctively feminist takes on childhood with a
consideration of speculative fiction stories that offer examples of
what feminists think makes childhood (un)livable.
