Description
Challenging the idea that feminism in the United States is dead or in decline, this work examines the contours of contemporary feminism. Through an investigation of three feminist communities, the author shows how contemporary feminists react to the local environment currently shaping their identities, tactics, discourse, and relations with other feminist generations. By moving the analysis to the community level, she illustrates how feminism is simultaneously absent from the national, popular culture, "nowhere", and diffused into the foundations of American culture, "everywhere." She addresses some of the most debated topics concerning feminists in the twenty-first century. How do contemporary feminists think of the second-wave generation? Has contemporary feminism succeeded in addressing racism and classism, and created a more inclusive movement? How are contemporary feminists dealing with their legacy of gender, sex, and sexuality in a world of fluid identity and queer politics? The answers, she finds, vary by community. This book an analysis of the state of contemporary feminism while also revealing the fascinating and increasingly complex development of community-level feminist groups in the United States.
