Throughout the ages, feminists have focused on their domestic and family lives; on their political power; on equality in educational opportunities; on spiritual dogmas; and, especially in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, on their work lives. Disagreeing on many points, feminists have approached these issues from theoretical, practical, political, iconoclastic, and radical standpoints. Along the way, they have been criticized for their attempts to change society and have been hampered in their efforts by those who have opposing ideas regarding a woman's role in the modern world. Feminism: A Reference Handbook presents a broad overview of feminist history. The author identifies and defines second- and third-wave feminism, and offers a glimpse into the issues and orientations of modern feminist thinking. This comprehensive volume also features a chronology, biographies of influential feminists, and a focus on issues that concern feminists. Readers will find a diverse selection of quotations, a directory of feminist organizations, and a list of selected print and nonprint resources, including Internet sites. A glossary of important terms and a thorough index complete a volume that will appeal to students, librarians, those with an interest in women's studies, and women's advocacy groups. - Back cover.
