In Feminism and the Women's Movement, Barbara Ryan integrates a broad historical view with an analytical framework drawn from the theory of social movements. Relying on participation and observation of diverse groups involved in the woman's movement, interviews with long-term activists, and readings of historical and contemporary movement publications, she discusses the changing nature of feminist ideology and movement organizing. Ryan portrays the successes and difficulties that women have faced in their efforts to effect social change in recent history.

This review is from: Feminism and the Women's Movement: Dynamics of Change in Social Movement Ideology and Activism (Perspectives on Gender) (Paperback)
An extremely well informed historical account of the Women's Movement and feminist activity in the United States. Exciting stuff! Additionally, it is published by Routledge, which in my book is a guarantee for quality work. Recommended!
