<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Reframing feminism for the twenty-first century, this bold and essential history stands up against bland corporate manifestos (Sarah Leonard).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Eschewing the conventional wisdom that places the origins of the American women s movement in the nostalgic glow of the late 1960s, Feminism Unfinished traces the beginnings of this seminal American social movement to the 1920s, in the process creating an expanded, historical narrative that dramatically rewrites a century of American women s history. Also challenging the contemporary lean-in, trickle-down feminist philosophy and asserting that women s histories all too often depoliticize politics, labor issues, and divergent economic circumstances, Dorothy Sue Cobble, Linda Gordon, and Astrid Henry demonstrate that the post-Suffrage women s movement focused on exploitation of women in the workplace as well as on inherent sexual rights. The authors carefully revise our wave vision of feminism, which previously suggested that there were clear breaks and sharp divisions within these media-driven waves. Showing how history books have obscured the notable activism by working-class and minority women in the past, Feminism Unfinished provides a much-needed corrective."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A quick, compelling and astute history of the women's movement from the 1920s to today and the first major history of women's political, social and economic progress in the United States in a generation.--Scott Porch "Chicago Tribune"<br><br>Edgy and important, <em>Feminism Unfinished</em> gives us one hundred years of feminist activism across all divides of class, race, and difference.
