Description
The history of feminism spans centuries. This concise guide explores the major developments that have shaped women's lives from the 17th century to the present day. From its roots in colonial times, feminism has evolved through key milestones such as the Women's Movement of the 1960s and the modern form it takes today. A significant focus is placed on the struggles of African-American women, highlighting the contributions of activists like Sojourner Truth and bell hooks. The book also examines the work of prominent feminist thinkers, including Germaine Greer, who argued that heterosexuality can be a form of oppression. This thought-provoking exploration provides a clear introduction to the basics of feminist theory.
