Product Description

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?

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
