Great Introduction,
By Collector "fan" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women's Voices, Feminist Visions: Classic and Contemporary Readings (Paperback)
This book is a great introduction for those who want to learn more about what feminism is all about. The book contains the history of the women's movement and articles from a variety of authors concerning the lives of women from different social and cultural backgrounds. The issue of race and sexuality are important topics in the book because depending on their background women have very different experiences with sexism. It delves deeply into the reality of oppression and how it effects everybody and not just a certain group of people. It's a great read if you would like to see women's issues from the perspective of a diverse range of people.
