- Description
- Collection with personal memoirs of women who were active in the second wave of American feminism (roughly 1965-1980). They write about what experiences and ideas shaped their activism and how they did maintain the will and energy to keep struggle. Thirty women wrote memoirs, which were critiqued by six others. Contributors include Kate Millett, Vivian Gornick, Barbara W. Emerson (daughter of civil rights pioneer Hosea Williams), Italian immigrant Anselma Dell'Olio, Carol Hanisch (who recalls the bra burnings of the 1968 Miss America Contest) and Lesbian Feminist Liberation founder Joan Nestle.
