The Historical Dictionary of Feminism is an essential resource for librarians, scholars, and students. It covers a broad range of subjects that detail the shifting definitions of this socio-economic, political, and intellectual movement and describe its antecedents and pioneers from as far back as Biblical times. The entries provide background on persons, organizations, campaigns, court cases, objectives, and achievements. The introduction summarizes the movement and the chronology captures feminism's increasingly international focus. The listing of feminist journals and detailed bibliography provide further sources of information.
