The U.S. Women's Movement in Global Perspective

This volume brings together original essays on the  post 1945 U.S. women's movement with analyses of women's movements in other countries around the world. A comparative perspective and a common theme―feminism in social movement action―unites these voices from the grassroots to the global, and the significance of the U.S women's movement in the international arena cannot be denied. At the same time, the way in which international feminism has developed―in Asia, in Latin America, in Europe―has altered and expanded the landscape of the U.S. women's movement forever.
