<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This rich collection of original materials provides a lens through which to view women's liberation, the most influential social movement in the history of the United States.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Today's women are so comfortable in their authority that they often forget to credit the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and '70s for paving the way -- from the kitchen to the boardroom, from sexual harassment to self-defense, from cheerleading on the sidelines to playing center on the team. Distinguished scholars and active participants in the movement, Linda Gordon and Rosalyn Baxandall have collected a colorful array of documents -- songs, leaflets, cartoons, position papers -- that illustrate the range of people, places, organizations, and ideas that made up the movement. <i>Dear Sisters</i> chronicles historical change in such broad areas as health, work, and family, and captures the subtle humor, unceasing passion, and overwhelming diversity that defined the women's liberation movement.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rosalyn Fraad Baxandall</b> is the author of <i>Words on Fire: The Writings and Biography of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn</i> and, with Elizabeth Ewen, of <i>Picture Windows: How the Suburbs Happened</i>. <p/><b>Linda Gordon</b> is the author of <i>The Great Arizona Orphan Abduction</i> and <i>Pitied But Not Entitled: Single Mothers and the History of Welfare</i>. <p/> Rosalyn Fraad Baxandall and Linda Gordon first met in 1971 at a women's liberation demonstration and have been working together ever since. Both teach women's history at universities -- Baxandall at SUNY/College at Old Westbury, Gordon at NYU -- both are mothers, and both eagerly await the new feminist revival.
