Synopsis

Contrary to clichés about the end of feminism, Deborah Siegel argues that younger women are not abandoning the movement but reinventing it. After forty years, is feminism today a culture, or a cause? A movement for personal empowerment, or broad-scale social change? Have women achieved equality, or do we still have a long way to go?

About this title

Review:

'My hope is that after reading this book, you will have a deeper sense of many of the stories that make feminist history and philosophy, and you will use them to continue to figure out what feminism means to you.' - from the foreword by Jennifer Baumgardner

'Siegel has her finger on the pulse of one of the main issues concerning women today: generational infighting around the unfinished business of feminism. It's an issue that concerns everyone, whether or not they use the f-word.' - Catherine Orenstein, author of Red Riding Hood Uncloaked

'A very good book about how modern feminism has fared across the generational divide.' - New York Observer

'It should be read by anyone who cares about feminism's future.' - Eryn Loeb, Bookslut

Synopsis:

Chronicling the battles that have shaped modern conceptions of feminism across two generations, it illuminates how younger women are reliving, often without realizing it, the battles of the past. Contrary to cliches about the death of feminism, Siegel argues that younger women are not abandoning the movement but reinventing it. Underlying questions remain: After forty years, is feminism today a culture, or a cause? A movement for personal empowerment, or social change? Have women achieved equality, or do we still have a long way to go?
