The Vintage Book of Historical Feminism
This anthology gathers together the essential historical writings of feminism. Many of the works, long out of print, are brought out of obscurity and into the light of contemporary analysis and criticism. More than 40 selections cover 150 years of writing on women's struggle -- from Mary Wollstonecraft and George Sand to Emma Goldman and Clara Zetkin -- and extensive commentaries by Miriam Schneir, who also edited the selections, help the reader see the historical context of each selection. Sections include: 18th-century rebels; women alone; an American woman's movement; men as feminists; and 20th-century themes.
