In short, thematic chapters, Orleck enables readers to understand the impact of women's activism, and highlights how feminism has flourished through much of the past century within social movements that have too often been treated as completely separate. Showing that women’s activism has taken many forms, has intersected with issues of class and race, and has continued during periods of backlash, Rethinking American Women’s Activism is a perfect introduction to the subject for anyone interested in women’s history and social movements.
Annelise Orleck is Professor of History at Dartmouth College. She is the author of Common Sense and a Little Fire: Women and Working Class Politics in the United States, 1900-1965 and Storming Caesar’s Palace: How Black Mothers Fought Their Own War on Poverty.
