Description:
Dismayed by the media's tendency to reduce the feminist enterprise to labels and superstars, Donna Perry and Nan Bauer Maglin decided to find out what a diverse group of feminists think about women, sex, and power in the nineties. The result is a provocative and varied collection of twenty-four essays by second- and third-wave feminists; artists and activists; professors and graduate students; professional journalists and just-published writers; mothers and daughters.
Review Quotes: The editors call this book a political action; it is also a great read. Its widely varied and reflective contributions combat oversimplifications and false oppositions in discussions of female sexuality in ways that engage our hearts as well as our intellects.--Alison M. Jaggar "Director of Women Studies, University of Colorado, Boulder"
