"In this enthralling narrative, Annelise Orleck chronicles the history of the American
women's movement from the nineteenth century to the present. Starting with an incisive
introduction that calls for a reconceptualization of American feminist history to
encompass multiple streams of women's activism, she weaves the personal with the political,
vividly evoking the events and people who participated in our era's most far-reaching
social revolutions. In short, thematic chapters, Orleck enables readers to understand
the impact of women's activism, and highlights how feminism has flourished through
much of the past century within social movements that have too often been treated
as completely separate. Showing that women's activism has taken many forms, has intersected
with issues of class and race, and has continued during periods of backlash, Rethinking
American Women's Activism is a perfect introduction to the subject for anyone interested
in women's history and social movements"
