Much of the scholarship on second-wave feminism has focused on
divisions within the women's movement and its narrow conception of
race and class, but the contributors to this volume remind readers
that feminists in the 1960s and 1970s also formed many strong
partnerships, often allying themselves with a diverse range of
social justice efforts on a local grassroots level. These essays
focus on coalitions and alliances in which feminists and other
activists joined forces to address crucial social justice issues
such as reproductive rights, the peace movement, women's health,
Christianity and other religions, and neighborhood activism, as
well as alliances crossing boundaries of race, class, political
views, and sexual identity. The contributors bring fresh
perspectives to feminist history by calling attention to how women
struggled to include and represent diverse women without minimizing
the difficulties of conceptualizing a singular feminism.
Contributors are Maria Bevacqua, Tamar Carroll, Marisa Chappell,
Andrea Estepa, Sara M. Evans, Amy Farrell, Stephanie Gilmore,
Cynthia Harrison, Elizabeth Kaminski, Wendy Kline, Premilla
Nadasen, Caryn Neumann, Anne M. Valk, and Emily Zuckerman.
