- Description
- The First World War marked a crisis for the burgeoning women's movements in Europe and in the United States. The Women's Movement in Wartime explores the responses of the women's movements to the war in all of the major belligerent nations - Germany, Austria/Hungary, France, Britain (and its Empire), the United States and Russia. The contributors explore the impact of war on early feminist thought and activism, covering key topics including the interpretation of a specifically 'womanly' response to the war, women's relationship with the state and with the nation, the status of women's wartime service, women's role as mothers in wartime, women's suffrage, peace and the aftermath of war, and women's guilt and responsibility.

- Description
- The founder of the Feminist Press offers an account of her accomplished life. There's her personal life: growing up in a working-class family in Brooklyn in the 1930s, her marriages: her desire for children and laborious building of a family of close friends, adopted teenage black daughter, and stepsons. Then there's her professional life: teaching, civil rights and antiwar activism, development of women's studies, and her most important project, the Feminist Press, started 40 years ago. Her private and professional lives sometimes intersect, especially in her chapter 'Becoming a Feminist,' but usually she deals with these parts of her life separately. Howe is most enlightening in describing her childhood, with a mother who doted on her son but often treated Howe harshly (perhaps to teach her how hard a woman's life is). Yet after her mother's death, Howe finds that her mother had kept every piece of paper reflecting Howe's achievements. Howe is most comfortable writing about her work with the Feminist Press, as well as her travels to international conferences.

- Description
- Dunbar-Ortiz looks back on her earlier life at the forefront of the feminist movement and as publisher of the feminist journal No More Fun and Games. She recalls her life as a revolutionary in a period of social and political tumult, and the creation of the women's rights movement in the midst of the antiwar and civil rights struggles. Dunbar-Ortiz was a timid housewife when she left Oklahoma for California with her husband. As she developed and grew, she became enamored of feminist politics and eventually left her husband and young daughter for a peripatetic life of traveling, writing, teaching, and speaking out against oppression across the U.S and in Cuba and South Africa. She recalls her personal struggle to reconcile within herself the various frictions of the feminist, black-power, antiwar, and leftist groups. This masterful insider look at radical activism in the 1960s and 1970s is a follow-up to her memoir Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie (1997).
