No Permanent Waves
Recasting Histories of U.S. Feminism
Edited by Nancy A. Hewitt; Introduction by Nancy A. Hewitt
Rutgers University Press
No Permanent Waves boldly enters the ongoing debates over the utility of the "wave" metaphor for capturing the complex history of women's rights by offering fresh perspectives on the diverse movements that comprise U.S. feminism, past and present. Seventeen essays--both original and reprinted--address continuities, conflicts, and transformations among women's movements in the United States from the early nineteenth century through today.
