Synopsis

An elegantly crafted and thoughtfully rendered history of feminism, from 1792 through the present. In this weeping definitive volume Christine Stansella, leading historian, looks at feminism's famous moments and overlooked chapters. The result is a book that vividly and authoritatively tells the story of one of the great emancipatory movements in history. The Feminist Promise explores the contributions and implications of various women's movements through the ages: from the Enlightenment to abolition to the radical feminism of the '60s and antifeminist backlash of the '8Os to the global feminism of today. This expansive history no other book covers the subject as comprehensively brings all the players and episodes together and updates our understanding of feminism for the first time.
