Book excerpt: The women most crucial to the feminist movement that emerged in the 1960's arrived at their commitment and consciousness in response to the unexpected and often shattering experience of having their work minimized, even disregarded, by the men they considered to be their colleagues and fellow crusaders in the civil rights and radical New Left movements. On the basis of years of research, interviews with dozens of the central figures, and her own personal experience, Evans explores how the political stance of these women was catalyzed and shaped by their sharp disillusionment at a time when their skills as political activists were newly and highly developed, enabling them to join forces to support their own cause.

Book Synopsis Feminism and the Politics of Childhood by : Rachel Rosen
Download or read book Feminism and the Politics of Childhood written by Rachel Rosen and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminism and the Politics of Childhood offers an innovative and critical exploration of perceived commonalities and conflicts between women and children and, more broadly, between various forms of feminism and the politics of childhood. This unique collection of 18 chapters brings into dialogue authors from a range of geographical contexts, social science disciplines, activist organisations, and theoretical perspectives. The wide variety of subjects include refugee camps, care labour, domestic violence and childcare and education. Chapter authors focus on local contexts as well as their global interconnections, and draw on diverse theoretical traditions such as poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, posthumanism, postcolonialism, political economy, and the ethics of care. Together the contributions offer new ways to conceptualise relations between women and children, and to address injustices faced by both groups. Praise for Feminism and the Politics of Childhood: Friends or Foes? ‘This book is genuinely ground-breaking.’ ‒ Val Gillies, University of Westminster ‘Feminism and the Politics of Childhood: Friends or Foes? asks an impossible question, and then casts prismatic light on all corners of its impossibility.’ ‒ Cindi Katz, CUNY ‘This provocative and stimulating publication comes not a day too soon.’ ‒ Gerison Lansdown, Child to Child ‘A smart, innovative, and provocative book.’ ‒ Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Syracuse University ‘This volume raises and addresses issues so pressing that it is surprising they are not already at the heart of scholarship.’ ‒ Ann Phoenix, UCL
Book Synopsis Feeling Women's Liberation by : Victoria Hesford
Download or read book Feeling Women's Liberation written by Victoria Hesford and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term women's liberation remains charged and divisive decades after it first entered political and cultural discourse around 1970. In Feeling Women's Liberation, Victoria Hesford mines the archive of that highly contested era to reassess how it has been represented and remembered. Hesford refocuses debates about the movement’s history and influence. Rather than interpreting women's liberation in terms of success or failure, she approaches the movement as a range of rhetorical strategies that were used to persuade and enact a new political constituency and, ultimately, to bring a new world into being. Hesford focuses on rhetoric, tracking the production and deployment of particular phrases and figures in both the mainstream press and movement writings, including the work of Kate Millett. She charts the emergence of the feminist-as-lesbian as a persistent "image-memory" of women's liberation, and she demonstrates how the trope has obscured the complexity of the women's movement and its lasting impact on feminism.
Book Synopsis The New Women's Movement by : Drude Dahlerup
Download or read book The New Women's Movement written by Drude Dahlerup and published by Sage Publications (CA). This book was released on 1986 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Women's Movement provides a comparative analysis of the social and political impact of the women's movement in ten European countries and the USA since the 1960s. It explains how a decentralized, non-professional, grass-roots organization has been able to effect political change. The contributors examine central issues in the feminist challenge to the establishment, including the abortion debate. Two contending strategies within the women's movement are outlined: one aiming to effect change through legislation; and the other asserting that women's liberation' can only be achieved from outside the existing system. Contributors also explain why the women's movement emerged when it did in different countries. National studies of feminist movements in the USA and ten European countries provide a unique comparative analysis of the women's movement as a social movement, with important implications for social movement theory. The successful emergence of the women's movement in different social and political settings challenges the notion that a decentralized, non-professional, grass root structure is a barrier to political influence.

Book Synopsis Black Women and Politics in New York City by : Julie A. Gallagher
Download or read book Black Women and Politics in New York City written by Julie A. Gallagher and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential contribution to twentieth-century political history, Black Women and Politics in New York City documents African American women in New York City fighting for justice, civil rights, and equality in the turbulent world of formal politics from the suffrage and women's rights movements to the feminist era of the 1970s. Historian and human rights activist Julie A. Gallagher deftly examines how race, gender, and the structure of the state itself shape outcomes, and exposes the layers of power and discrimination at work in American society. She combines her analysis with a look at the career of Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress and the first to run for president on a national party ticket. In so doing, she rewrites twentieth-century women's history and the dominant narrative arcs of feminist history that hitherto ignored African American women and their accomplishments.
Book Synopsis Feminism and Politics by : Joyce Gelb
Download or read book Feminism and Politics written by Joyce Gelb and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incisive work provides a comparative political analysis of the women's movement in England, the United States, and Sweden from the 1960s to the present. Based on extensive interviews in each of the three countries, Feminism and Politics focuses not only on the internal dynamics of the movements themselves, but also on the relationship of feminist politics to the political process as a whole and to the economic and ideological context. Joyce Gelb finds that differences in the feminist movements in each country relate to systemic and cultural differences. In Britain the closed nature of the political system has greatly narrowed opportunities for feminist political activities. By contrast, the feminist movement in the United States has enjoyed relative autonomy and success, primarily because it has been unconstrained by the necessity of working through existing groups such as unions and political parties. In Sweden Gelb finds a situation in which the state has implemented many feminist policies but has allowed little ideological or political space for an autonomous movement. In its scope and analysis, Feminism and Politics offers a valuable perspective on women's political activities. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1989.
Book Synopsis Feminism, Sexuality, and Politics by : Estelle B. Freedman
Download or read book Feminism, Sexuality, and Politics written by Estelle B. Freedman and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-12-08 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of a small group of feminist pioneers in the historical profession, Estelle B. Freedman teaches and writes about women's history with a passion informed by her feminist values. Over the past thirty years, she has produced a body of work in which scholarship and politics have never been mutually exclusive. This collection brings together eleven essays--eight previously published and three new--that document the evolving relationship between academic feminism and political feminism as Freedman has studied and lived it. Following an introduction that presents a map of the personal and intellectual trajectory of Freedman's work, the first section of essays, on the origins and strategies of women's activism in U.S. history, reiterates the importance of valuing women in a society that has long devalued their contributions. The second section, on the maintenance of sexual boundaries, explores the malleability of both sexual identities and sexual politics. Underlying the collection is an inquiry into the changing meanings of gender, sexuality, and politics during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries along with a concern for applying the insights of women's history broadly, from the classroom to the courthouse.
