They eschew the popular--though incomplete--narrative focusing on the 1960s and 1970s, and trace the world-changing social movement to the 1920s. This broader canvas allows for the struggles of all women, including working-class women, to come to the foreground. Among the many myths the book dispels is the notion that feminism was a movement of the largely white, highly educated, upper middle class. The authors vividly render the struggles of those women who organized rallies, demonstrations, and sit-ins--often working alongside civil rights demonstrators--to demand equal wages and better jobs, as well as the right to both sexual pleasure and reproductive control. The book also provides a counterpoint to the contemporary corporate-backed "lean-in" philosophy; the authors argue that this assumes that gains for a tiny elite will help all women. They demonstrate that, to the contrary, the gains women have made were created by working together for social change rather than by striving individually for personal success. While each new generation since 1920 has arrived in a world improved by the efforts of previous struggles, the movement is far from over. Progress is not a birthright but rather a vision that has been constructed, reconstructed, and fought for over and over again"--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Feminism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Feminism $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Women's rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178818 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Gordon, Linda, $e author. 700 1 $a Henry, Astrid, $d 1966- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6B286EC64A8111E7A5A8299FDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
