Sisterhood, interrupted

Chronicling the battles that have shaped modern conceptions of feminism across two generations, this book illuminates how younger women are reliving, often without realizing it, the battles of the past. Contrary to cliches about the end of feminism, the author argues that younger women are not abandoning the movement but reinventing it. After forty years, is feminism today a culture, or a cause? A movement for personal empowerment, or broad-scale social change? Have women achieved equality, or do we still have a long way to go?
