Summary

This final volume in the Public Women, Public Words series focuses on what has come to be called the second wave of American feminism. It traces the resurgence of feminism in the late 1960s; reflects the unprecedented range of women's issues taken up by feminists during the 1970s and beyond; and looks toward a third feminist wave for the new millennium.
