- Description
- “Hippie women” have alternately been seen as earth mothers or love goddesses, virgins or vamps. Gretchen Lemke-Santangelo corrects the stereotypes by describing how women experienced and shaped the counterculture. She draws on the personal recollections of women who were there—including such pivotal figures as Lenore Kendall, Diane DiPrima, and Carolyn Adams—to gain insight into what made counterculture women tick, how they lived their days, and how they envisioned their lives. She argues that, despite the embrace of traditional roles, counterculture women claimed power by virtue of gender difference and revived an older agrarian ideal that assigned greater value to female productive labor. she also shows how women helped counterculture practices move into the mainstream, helping transform middle-class attitudes toward everything from spirituality to child rearing to the environment. With photos and poster art.

- Description
- This book provides the readers with the most influential essays that have defined the field of American girls' history and culture. Girl-centered research is critical for a fuller understanding of women and gender, a deeper consideration of childhood and adolescence, and a greater acknowledgment of the significance of generation as a historical force in culture and society. Bringing together work from top scholars of women and youth, the book addresses topics ranging from diary writing and toys to prostitution and slavery. Covering girlhood and the relationships between girls and women, the volume tackles themes such as education, work, play, sexuality, consumption, and the body. The reader also illuminates broader nineteenth-century developments—including urbanization, industrialization, and immigration--through the often-overlooked vantage point of girls. As these essays collectively suggest, nineteenth-century girls wielded relatively little political or social power but carved out other spaces of self-expression.

- Description
- Rhode analyzes the challenges the feminist movement faces today.She focuses on five main topics: employment issues such as pay discrimination, work-life balance and the government's pitiful response, the assault on women's reproductive rights and the limits it places on their economic mobility, sexual harassment and violence, and the detrimental effect that the unfashionable label 'feminist' can have, especially in attracting young women to the movement. Despite these obstacles, Rhode thinks that the goals and principles of feminism are widely accepted by the American mainstream.
