Liberty's Daughters
Liberty's Daughters is really the combined collection of two books.Part I: The Constant Patterns of Women's Lives, sets the reader up for Part II:The Changing Patterns of Women's Lives.In a way, Part I explains the life of the prewar colonial woman.Part II discusses the changes that would occur for women during and immediately following the war.Norton makes a convincing argument that women's lives were forever changed by the Revolutionary War. Chapter 1 was extremely interesting as Norton details the differences between rural women of the colonies with urban women.She details the lives of rural women of the North in comparison to women of the rural South.Plus, Norton discusses the even harsher life of the female slave.In a way, there is an underlying sentiment that life was very difficult for both men and women during this period of time.I appreciated Norton's realization that men also experienced plenty of toil during this time in history.In other words, there was plenty of hardship to go around. One main theme that the reader quickly notices is how important spinning was to the women of colonial America.The first chapters detail how women would have to spin to make clothes for themselves and their families (and sometimes very large families).To pass the time, women would often spin in groups.This activity gave them a sense of companionship.This community would lay the important groundwork for their support of the men during the Revolutionary War. The second part of the book informs the reader how women formed formal spinning groups that actively worked to help the patriots.In a way, women now took up spinning as a part of the campaign for freedom against the British.Sewing gave women a sense of nationality as they could actively contribute to the defense of colonial liberties. Norton explains in the first chapters how women needed a certain degree of conversation.Women loved to talk, most particularly while they spun.In Part II, Norton explains how politics is all anyone could talk about during this era, so why would women want to be left out?Indeed, they were not left out of the conversation, and they were even more than willing to take part in the action.After all, it was their families who were at stake.Women actively took part in the mobs and spoke out against loyalists - partially to avoid from themselves becoming targets of the patriotic fever that swept much of the colonies.Just as in any other civil war, not all women agreed.Political differences caused breakups and differences in friendships and marriages. Though we read from other sources that Washington held contempt for the women who traveled with his army - taking precious rations and supplies, Washington also displays his gratitude to Ester Reed and her girls for this organization's contributions.He put these girls, "to an equal place with any who have preceded them in the walk of female patriotism." The significant sign of change in the lives of colonial women is found midway through Part 2 when the postwar female generation led political discussion and even took part in activism.This was completely alien to most women born before 1760.Nineteenth-century women took pride in the contributions that members of their sex had made to the winning of independence.The existence of such public-spirited models showed that women could take active roles in politics without losing their feminine identity.It was not by chance that in 1848 the organizers chose to use the Declaration of Independence as the basis for their calls for reform in women's status.They understood the relevance of the revolutionary era to their own endeavors.This is a far cry to the woman detailed in Chapter 1 who had no idea about even the financial state of her husband. Here is another profound change from Chapter 1:As time went on, women learned more about the family's finances while at the same time their husband's knowledge became increasingly outdated and remote.In a way, the soldiers increasingly delegated responsibility of the finances to their wives. Women received freedom from the British - just as did men.However, women also gained certain freedoms for their gender.Following the war, female children consequently began to expect the right to decide for themselves in marital matters if they so desired.Many girls continued to seek their parents' and friends' assessments of potential spouses.However, some women made up their own minds, and this is a revolutionary concept.After all, even today in some countries, women have yet to acquire this freedom.Not only were they given more choice in who they were to marry, the increasing use of contraception in the last two decades of the century can also be seen as a reflection of women's improved status within marriage.This came as quite a surprise to me as I had not been aware of any such methods of contraception at this early period of time.I had always assumed that people of this era had only one method of contraception: do not do anything! After the war, women grew increasingly willing to challenge the conventional wisdom about feminine faults.Women finally stood up against the arguments about their nature - particularly against negative aspects of their nature.They were less inclined to allow remarks about their "natural state" pass without harsh comment.This is, in my opinion, the true birth of a P.C. culture! Norton's argument is successful.The lives of women were forever altered by the Revolutionary War.Further, women had just begun to seek liberties for their own gesture.In a way, this book should be read before one begins to study and attempt to understand the feminist movement of the 1840's, before the Suffrage movement that gained women's right to vote, and before the feminist movement that would begin in the 1960's.Indeed, we still live with the consequences of the changes in women's society during the Revolutionary War.

Women Breaking Barriers
Dancing Women: Female Bodies on Stage is an exceptional creation that explores women in dance.Banes gives in-depth historical and social reference for the dances in this book.This context allows the reader to more fully understand the characters on stage and the women off stage. She shows us the significance of the ever-changing "marriage plot" and how it affected choreography and influenced women to break through the social barriers in their lives.It is very educational and inspiring to read about women changing the course of art in Europe and America during the 19th and 20th centuries.I recommend Dancing Women: Female Bodies on Stage to anyone interested in dance history and the woman's rising power in the arts. ...

Well-Organized and Well-Written!
I consider myself to be a feminist, and I am glad to see that a book such as this exists. Cott gives a thorough and detailed account about the origins of the modern feminist movement. It is direct and to the point, and gives people a simple step-by-step telling of what is meant to be a feminist in the modern era. Anyone who is interested in modern women's history must read this book!

the in-between years
This book aptly describes the problems that arose within the women's movement post-suffrage and pre-second wave. The conflicts over which issues should be stressed, and the inevitable collapse of the movement once they reached the goal that they thought would bring them equality on many levels - and the impact that the realization that the vote was not the panacea for all ills,make this book a must read for those interested in twentieth-century women's history. Should be on every feminist and/or historians bookshelf. ... Read more

Invention and creation are possible only at the edge
I found this book to be an unusual and beautiful documentation offeminist process through living. A Worst-Case Example of Radical Feminism
I found this book while browsing in the stacks of my university library, and out of curiosity read it cover to cover. I literally could not believe what I found. From her disjointed account of her own "craziness" to her infantile analysis of masculine motives, Joyce T.'s book is one of the worst I have read in my life. Never in my wildest dreams would I recommend that anyone pay a cent for this book. I would, however, recommend that everyone read it, if only to expose the far left wing of radical feminism for what it really is. ... Read more

Incredible Book!
Gloria Steinem challenges us all to redefine our views in her groundbreaking work entitled "Moving Beyond Words--Breaking the Boundaries of Gender."Since reading this novel, I was able break the boundaries of my gender and I'm now an ageless, emotionally-tempered, frigid, weak, poor, out-of-shape eunich.Because I'm moving beyond words you'll have to read the rest of my review telepathically.

Rediscover Steinem
When one of my closest friends who found inspiration in Steinem's work handed me a copy of Moving Beyond Words, my first reaction was skepticism.In spite of my respect for my friend's taste in authors, I doubted that I would find anything of value in reading essays by an aging feminist. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that Steinem's essays offer affirmation through example, anecdote, explanation, as well as sharp poignancy and wit.A new phase of my life had me seriously questioning whether or not my sanity was intact; my emotional response to the ending of my 20 year marriage which had been running on empty a long time, my breaking from a 16 year affiliation with my church because of its refusal to recognize blatant discrimination, and accepting my daughter's independence as she left the nest seemed inappropriate;I wondered why I felt a surge of strength and renewal after severing each of these ties when the socially acceptable responses should have been guilt, regret and sadness.

Laughably Embarrassing, Hoff Sommers Flies off the Handle
You know, the saddest thing aside from how this book needed to be reprinted due to error in logic and fact is that Christina Hoff Sommers ("equity feminist" and not what she frames a "gender feminist" who she rather unhingedly explains more or less is everybody who disagrees with her, something right out of "1984") so blatantly does precisely what she is attempting to expose a bunch of named or un-named and possibly non-existent feminists for doing: selectivism, misrepresentation, omission, appeals to emotion, composition. Though she manages to expose some myths held by some (and some, though Hoff Sommers would like you to believe all feminists - including the straw ones - believe the same thing), lets just scratch the surface on why considering what she was trying to do this book was nothing less than laughably embarrassing. Shall we?
Badly researched and undocumented
Hoff Summers had to withdraw one edition of this book from publication due to egregious errors in logic and fact.The rest of the book is not much better. She cherrypicks her data,uses outdated studies, jumps to stereotypical conclusions, and basically says all the stuff that feminist-bashing conservatives love. Basically, she blames feminists for everything, and she's got the conservative 'research' to prove it.
Anti-feminist author
While searching for reading material under feminism, this anti-feminist diatribe comes up as the first on the list. Probably not a good way to sell books. ... Read more

must read for feminist anthropologists
An inspired and insightful book!Women Writing Culture is a must read for feminist anthropologists.This book provides a wealthy historical base imperative to new up and comings in academia.The biographical pieces offer a sense of community to anthropologists and gender studies majors and the fresh, new voices offer a challenge to take feminist anthropology and gender studies to the next level.Additional to the many perks this book offers to students and others surviving in academia, it is also written in accecible language so that the general public reading for pleasure may understand and enjoy it as well.Ruth Behar and Deborah Gordan challege their readers to think outside of the popularly accepted boundaries of women's studies, feminist studies, and cultural studies.Stepping outside of this box can be uncomfortable, but I'll guess that you'll find that "uncomfortable" is where you'll rather be. ...

Hey Kurt
Hey Addison Godel, are you in any way related to Kurt Godel ? Fun for experts, off-putting for beginners
Ironically, the "Introducing" books always seem to be least useful for those who really need an introduction.Introducing Postfeminism (an awkward term if ever there was one) is no exception - it's overly stylish and short on transitions, organized paragraphs, and clear explanations of specific figures and ideas.If you already have a solid grounding in these matters, the book may be a handy pocket reference - however, as an actual introduction it's a mess.The ideas jump off the page in the worst kind of buzzworded style, and we're scarcely five words into essentialism when structuralism barges into the picture.Even a reader eager to learn (me) finds hirself skimming.

Madcap Zeitgeist-ian Fun meets Serious Social Whatnot

My sentiments exactly
This is an amazingly eye opening book for those who yearn to learn of the TRUE roots of American capitalism. Two prerequisites in order to enjoy this book: A) an open mind and B) an optimum outlook on change in society. Read this book and enjoy!

Few books truly change your life
This one changed mine. I urge all young women of color to read this book while you are still in high school or college. Do that for yourself. I urge all other humans to read it as soon as you can. It's the seminal work of bell hooks career, which continues to enlighten and enrich all of us. Unlike some other "classic" works, it deserves the designation, for it remains as timely today as it was at publication. Here is where it all began
Those who would dismiss Hook's scholarship and arguments as substandard are truly threatened by the radical observations she makes about the world and black women's relationship to it and in it. Read more

Sad, yet Excited Story
I am only about halfway through "Princess," yet I absolutely adore it. Seeing what actually happens in Saudi Arabia, even to princesses, makes me want to help them. Nobody deserves to be treated the way she does, and I hope that someday, I'll be able to help Sultana and many others fight for women's rights. It's time we took a stand.
A must read!!!!
I currently reside in Geneva, Switzerland and was curious to know more of the veiled women that I see walking the streets in the summer. This story is riveting to say the least and to know that these customs still exist is saddening. I would have never believed until I saw it with my own eyes. Saudi Royals in stretch limos, their entourage in tow, rolling out the red carpets, literaly, as 10 individuals empty out a Louis Vutton store. They were purchasing 10+ bags ranging over $2000.00 a piece. It was a site. Their wives following behind them like wounded yet well trained dogs. Sasson captures, what I believe, to be the true essence of Saudi Royal life.

Couldn't put it down!
This book...is overwhelming to say the least. But it's excellent. It really opens your eyes to the way things are over there. Some items will appall and make you sick but others will make you smile. Can't wait to read the rest in the series! ... Read more

Why I Didn't Like This Book Very Much
I've said it before, feminists are too often their own worst enemies. Not only do they apparently presume to speak for all women, as perhaps subconsciously does Ms. Nead, but they frequently take a platform that is both dour and too stringent. Her contentions here in The Female Nude are extreme. She is all-but critical of sexuality itself, all but denies that there is any non-sexual beauty in the human body, chides lust as an institution (no, I could not type that with a straight face) and contrary to her goals of championing women she in fact attacks women much more ardently than most any man ever would. Really this is not an overview of western female nudity in art and photography at all. There's little to be learned here, and the overall tone to this message leaves you feeling like you've just sat thru a sermon, or at best one of those college lectures where the professor was a bit too dogmatic in her approach to conveying the subject matter. Heck, even the photographs in here were bad choices. Nead won't be able to market this to either voyeurs or the intellectually curious. This book seems intent upon punishing its reader and is yet another "get the message in first" example of attacking rather than studying; of overtly delivering a message instead of neutrally expounding upon what could have been an engaging topic.

A Comprehensive look at the Implications of th Female Nude
This book reviews previous scholar's understanding of the nude, including an extremely insightful look at Kenneth Clark's The Nude and Berger's work on the nude, illuminating many areas where their theories revealed disturbing social views.... it also incorporates philosophy from a wide range of areas, providing the reader with a comprehensive look at why and how we respond to the female nude while exploring a wide range of explanations.it becomes an extremely valuable lesson on what makes us comfortable and the social implications of all the things we naturally find disgusting. By trying to strike at the core of some of the attitudes towards the female body, she also critiques many current feminist trends that she feels perpetuates the problem and directs us to a clearer understanding of what is needed to view the female body with somewhere near equal respect to the way we view the male body. Before reading this book I honestly thought feminism was silly and that in modern society men and women were close to equal.This book opened my eyes.....wide.... not only about women's studies but also about many of the tendencies of the human mind and i have continued to reference at least one of the ideas it introduced me to in most papers i have written since reading it.

Not worth more than a skim
I was hoping for some insight on the historical aspects of nude art and was sorely disappointed. The poses in the photographic examples were on the ridiculous side. The writer automatically labels any slender woman as anorexic, although one doesn't have to be 20lbs overweight with buxom curves in order to be womanly. I would rather read about fact on this subject than one person's opinion. ... Read more

A good start for ecofeminism
I am totally new to this "ism." Thus, I find this book can offer a good review about ecofeminism.

Excellent Work!
I read this book for the Jan/Feb 2004 LD Topic: "A government's obligation to protect the environment ought to have precedence over its obligation to promote economic development." I have to say I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in the connections between the environment and feminism. I especially liked the discussion of how women and the environment are connected through language through the use of word's like "Mother Nature." That use in particular was to put it in a word pimp. Warren covers all areas of ecofeminist thought, and is extremely fair to those critical of ecofeminism. To anyone interested in learning about how our domination of the environment undergirds our domination of other groups this book is perfect. As I said before, this work by a "street philosopher," is simply pimp. Highest recomendations!
