Rezensionen

"Accessible and involving ... the object of study resonates with our own present. It highlights the many tensions brought by the confluence of personal ideals and collective actions, as well as the problematic relation between "allyship" and oppressed groups. ... The book eventually contributes to an intellectual genealogy of the American feminist movement."
