feminist perspective miss America




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—from Betty Friedan and the National Organization for Women to the anarchist and lesbian identity dimensions of radical feminism. Including topics such as sexual autonomy, abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, and the black-feminist resistance to the white-dominated second wave, New York City Attractions this volume reflects the unprecedented range of women's issues taken up by feminists during the 1970s and beyond. 
Volume III also charts the great diffusion of feminism with separate sections on multicultural feminism 
and the feminist presence in media and pop culture. 
Finally, through the recent writings of feminist intellectuals, 
it looks toward a third feminist wave for the new millennium.
