I found Feminism: The Essential Historical Writings to be very dry, very white, and very important. But I was glad I read them and I think other feminists should read them as well because they give a good insight into where the feminist movement started and a bit of how we got to where we are, as well as serving as a reminder that we came a long way from where we started. We still have a ways to go, but at least we’re not still at the very start of our journey towards equality. I hope in future volumes of books like this it includes more voices of women of color, and of women from non-western cultures, but overall I found the book to be very good.

Here are the essential historical writings of feminism. Many of these works, long out of print or forgotten in what Miriam Schneir describes as a male-dominated literary tradition, are finally brought out of obscurity and into the light of contemporary analysis and criticism. Included are more than forty selections, coveting 150 years of writings on women's struggle for freedom, from the American Revolution to the first decades of the twentieth century. This updated, wide-ranging collection encompasses the crucial issues of women's oppression. A surprising degree of continuity between the ideas of the old and the new feminism is evident throughout. In her selection, [the editor] has by passed writings that deal exclusively with the outdated topic of suffrage in an effort to focus attention on the still unsolved feminist problems: marriage as an instrument of oppression; woman's desire to control her own body; the economic independence of women; the search for selfhood. This richly diverse collection contains excerpts from books, essays, speeches, documents, letters, as well as poetry, drama, and fiction. Extensive commentaries by the editor help the reader see the historical context of each selection.-Back cover. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
