This intriguing book enriches our understanding of the women's
movement in the United States by showing how feminists captured a
place for their goals on the agendas of four male-dominated liberal
organizations in the 1960s and 1970s: the American Civil Liberties
Union, the National Council of Churches, the Ford Foundation, and
the International Union of Electrical Workers. Susan M. Hartmann
examines the efforts of women and men who had few ties to the
independent women's movement-and thus have been neglected in
studies of second-wave feminism-but who nonetheless contributed
substantially to the spread of feminist ideas and practices into
the mainstream of American society. She identifies key resources
that these establishment groups furnished the independent women's
movement-money, legitimacy, and access to the critical arenas of
public opinion and government. Revising the common view that the
second wave of feminism was a white middle-class phenomenon,
Hartmann discovers significant numbers of women of color and
working-class women who pushed feminist agendas. In demonstrating
how feminist change took place within establishment organizations,
the book highlights the processes and the benefits that attended
the incorporation of feminism into the frames of economic and
racial justice, individual rights, and Christian values. It thus
illuminates both the reach and the staying power of second-wave
feminism.
