The Grounding of Modern Feminism

Author: Nancy F. Cott
ISBN: 0300042280

A new interpretation of American feminism during the early decades of this century - a time usually viewed as one in which women won the right to vote and then lost interest in feminist issues. Nancy F. Cott argues instead that this was a time of crisis and transition from the nineteenth-century 'woman movement' to the beginnings of modern feminism and that many issues central to women today were first articulated during this period.
