Book Description
Outlines the main features of major strands in contemporary second wave feminist thought, and debates the place of feminism in social, political, and personal life during the 1990s. After a retrospective of feminist thought from the 1960s through the mid-1980s, chapters present the origins of aspects of second wave feminism such as liberal, socialist, radical, lesbian, and black feminism, and discuss feminist debates in the 1980s and 1990s, men in feminism, the media and feminist superstars, and theoretical developments.
