Finding the Movement

Sexuality, Contested Space, and Feminist Activism

Produktbeschreibung

"In places like softball fields, church basements, and dance floors, Anne Enke locates a cast of compelling characters who don't usually make it into history books. The result is a startlingly original history of second-wave feminism. Enke forces us to think freshly about the 1960s, political mobilization, and the ways that people change the world around them."--John D'Emilio, coauthor of "Intimate Matters: A History of Sexuality in America"
