A History of U.S. Feminisms
A History of U.S. Feminisms | Rory Dicker
9 posts | 1 read | 11 to read
Thoroughly updated and expanded, the second edition of A History of U.S. Feminisms is an introductory text that will be used as supplementary material for first-year womens studies students or as a brush-up text for more advanced students. Covering the first, second, and third waves of feminism, A History of U.S. Feminisms will provide historical context of all the major events and figures from the late nineteenth century through today. The chapters cover: first-wave feminism, a period of feminist activity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which focused primarily on gaining women's suffrage; second-wave feminism, which started in the 60s and lasted through the 80s and emphasized the connection between the personal and the political; and third-wave feminism, which started in the early 90s and is best exemplified by its focus on diversity and intersectionality, queer theory, and sex-positivity.

100 years ago today … This is one of the many reasons why feminism continues to be relevant and important. There are women still alive who were born before it was legal for them to wear pants in public.

ChaoticMissAdventures I saw a few articles this year about graduates not being able to walk in the ceremony because as women they were wearing pants. Sometimes I have to wonder how far we have really come. 1y
Amiable @ChaoticMissAdventures You aren‘t wrong. It really does feel like one step forward three steps back in regards to women‘s rights. 1y

Finally finished this one. The book club isn't going really but I'm going to continue to read and learn.
This was interesting. It's a short history of the 3 waves and then the future of feminism. There was a lot that I knew, but it was helpful to have it more connected and linear. For a short reminder history of feminism in the U.S. it's worth reading.

I'm going to try not to post much today on any social media. Being a single mom I cannot fully participate in #adaywithoutwomen but I'm wearing red in support and I'm going to spend much of the day reading up on Feminism in the U.S.. #internationalwomensday

#litsypartyofone my official question answering post
1. I will be alternating between the tagged book and 'Valley of the Dolls'
2. I'll be eating gelato, chocolate, and cookie. I allow myself to eat without guilt on Fridays ?
3. Drinking Henry's Hard Grape Soda and water
4. I'm wearing one of my Vonnegut shirts it says "No book placed in a public library should be removed"
5. I'll probably change the TV to a music station

For the book club my SIL started to learn more about intersectional feminism most of us thought starting with at least a basics of the entire movement would be a good idea. Having a solid foundation is best. 'The Essential Feminist Reader' looked like it would be a good one too so I got that as well. I love learning more depth about subjects that I find important.
