Much of the scholarship on second-wave feminism has focused on divisions within the women's movement and its narrow conception of race and class, but the contributors to this volume remind readers that feminists in the 1960s and 1970s also formed many strong partnerships, often crossing boundaries of race, class, and sexual identity. These essays focus on alliances that addressed crucial social justice issues such as reproductive rights, women's health, the peace movement, Christianity and other religions, and neighborhood activism.
''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
