This book explores how feminist organizing was unfolding in similar ways across the county.
It examines the enormous energy put into building feminist service organization such as women’s shelters and rape crisis centers which were to have an profound impact on major social institutions, health care delivery and the justice system. It also looks at the differences between the organizing strategies of ‘second wave’ feminists and those of the 21st century. Much 21st century feminist organizing is taking place outside of explicitly feminist groups, with young feminists bringing a gender justice perspective to a range of racial, economic and climate justice organizations.
