Feminism:
Reinventing the F-Word

305.42 H535f
While most people
say they believe in equal rights, the word feminism—America's
new F-word—makes people uncomfortable. Explore the history of US feminism
through pioneers such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Betty Friedan, Shirley
Chisholm, and Gloria Steinem. Meet modern leaders such as Rebecca Walker and
Julie Zeilinger, who are striving to empower women at work, in government, at
home—and in cultural and personal arenas. Learn from interviews with movement
leaders, scholars, pop stars, and average women, what it means to be a
feminist—or to reject it altogether. After reading this book, readers will be
able to respond to "Am I a feminist?" with a confident, informed
voice.
