Review: "This book is written so clearly, cogently, and cleverly that anyone who reads it carefully will be persuaded that all societies should become more feminist."
-Rosemarie Tong, Distinguished Professor in Health Care Ethics, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
"Friendly and accessible. Cleverly combines a broad range of topics with careful scholarship"
-Hilde Lindemann, Professor of Philosophy, Michigan State University
"Fills a huge gap. With engaging clarity, Scholz is likely to persuade most readers that anyone who pursues justice for everyone IS a feminist."
-Mary Mahowald, Professor Emerita, University of Chicago
Description: One of the most important social movements of the twentieth century, feminism has transformed the way we perceive women, and continues to do so. But what may at first appear as a single, unified movement striving for women’s liberation is actually an astonishing broad coalition with goals far beyond simply achieving equality with men.
Deftly blending feminist theory and practice into a seamless web, Sally J. Scholz provides a lively exploration of its long and fascinating history, and an original look at its future. Taking powerful examples from the latest campaigns, and profiling exciting new developments such as hip hop feminism and global feminism, Scholz reveals that the movement is every bit as vibrant, relevant, and controversial today as it was at the outset.
