Gilmore, S: Feminist Coalitions Historical Perspectives on Second-Wave Feminism in the United States

"These fascinating and vivid essays complicate and expand our view of the coalitions that were able to come together and fight for common goals. Scholars and students in women's history, women's studies, and sociology will surely find this an invaluable reference as it introduces new histories of the women's movement and second-wave feminism."--Ruth Rosen, author of The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America

"[Feminist Coalitions] does well in calling attention to the many identities of second-wave feminisms and the movement's successful initiatives in work, health, reproductive, peace, and civil rights campaigns."--The Journal of American History

"An important new dimension to the ongoing scholarship, revisioning the history of second-wave feminism."--Oral History Review

"The most exciting work on the American women's movement to appear in years. Combining wisdom and hope, this paradigm-altering and agenda-setting volume is exactly what we need to meet the challenges of the new millennium. Its message is distinctive, invigorating, and vitally important for students of history to understand how change occurred in the past, and for citizens concerned with how to make changes in the present. A profoundly important intervention in feminist scholarship."--Nancy MacLean, author of Freedom Is Not Enough: The Opening of the American Workplace
