Review
"Anne Costain's contribution is most welcome... Those interested in the politics of the women's movement or the links between social movements and government more generally should read this book." -- Political Science Quarterly
Product Description
In "Inviting Women's Rebellion", Anne Costain examines the development of the women's movement from its appearance in the 1960s, through its formative years to its peak in the 1970s, and into its recent "decline". The women's movement brought about significant changes in language, health care, education, the arts, individual psychology, and a myriad of other areas of American life and culture. Yet, with the defeat of the ERA, talk turned to backlash and decline. Offering a new understanding of the movement's successes and failures, "Inviting Women's Rebellion" records the political lessons the next generation need to learn and remember as they continue the struggle for equality and fairness.
