Book summaryAlthough she is the first to admit that her "activist's reflections" on the origins and history of the women's movement are fragmented by identity politics and the spread of interest groups, author Shelia Tobias takes an essentially optimistic view of the recent progress of the so-called second sex. Media reviews"It has become almost impossible to negotiate the byways [of the women's movement] without a map, and Sheila Tobias provides one in "Faces of Feminism," a cogent summary history of the women's movement. Ms. Tobias, a longtime feminist and an academic, co-author of 'Women, Militarism and War,' combines carefully selected personal recollections with a brisk review of the movement's conflicts and achievements....This book is an especially welcome resource for young women trying to make sense of the women's movement before becoming enmeshed in its battles." |
