[edit] Description from course catalog

This course explores the emergence and development of "second wave" or "contemporary" feminisms in the United States from the 1960s to the 1980s. We look at competing definitions of feminism, different forms/styles of feminist activism, the relation of feminist movements to other movements for social change (including civil rights, gay liberation, labor, peace, environmentalism), and the way that race, class, sexuality, geographic location, and material conditions have shaped the meanings of women's emancipation and empowerment.
