- Description
- The author argues that diverse women’s engagement with public spaces gave rise to and shaped second-wave feminism. Focusing on women’s activism in Detroit, Chicago and Minneapolis during the 1960s and 1970s, she describes how women across race and class created feminist activism by directly intervening in the urban landscape. Some examples: Women secured illicit meeting spaces: gained access to public athletic fields: fought to open bars to women: abolish gendered dress codes and prohibitions against lesbian congregation: created alternative spaces, such as coffeehouses: opened women-oriented bookstores, restaurants, cafes and clubs: established women’s shelters and health clinics.
