- Description
- Kristan Poirot demonstrates that contemporary theories about sex, gender, identity, and difference compel a rethinking of the history of feminist movements and their rhetorical practices. .Poirot focuses on five case studies : the circulation of Sojourner Truth's 'Ain't I a Woman?' in early and contemporary feminist contexts: the visual rhetorics of the feminist self-help health movement: the public discourse of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and early nineteenth-century ideas about suffrage, sex, and race: the conflicts over lesbian sexuality in the 1960s and 1970s: and the discourse that surrounds twenty-first-century SlutWalks. In the process, Poirot rethinks the terms through which we understand U.S. feminist movements to explore the ways feminism has questioned sexed distinctions and practices over time.

- Description
- Spar spent most of her life avoiding feminism. Raised after the tumult of the 1960s, she presumed that the gender war was over and realized that that was not true. One of the first women professors at Harvard Business School, she went on to have three children and became the chair of her department. Now, she's the president of Barnard College, arguably the most important women's college in the country, and an institution firmly committed to feminism. This book is Spar's story, but it is also the culture's.She examines how women's lives have, and have not, changed over the past fifty years—and how it is that the struggle for power has become a quest for perfection.

- Description
- In this publication four women are profiled: the author Inez Haynes Irwin, the historian Mary Ritter Beard, the activist Doris Stevens, and Lorine Pruette, a psychologist. Their life-stories embody the changes of the first four decades of the twentieth century. Through these women's intertwined stories, the author traces the changing nature of the women's movement across decades rent by world war, revolution, global depression, and the rise of fascism. Topics involved are e.g. the National Women's Party, sexuality and relations with men, marriage, work and financial independence.
