Feminist Organizing for Change: The Contemporary Women's Movement in Canada

by Linda Briskin (Author), Linda Briskin (Author), Nancy Adamson (Author), Margaret McPhail (Author)

Synopsis

Focusing on the practices, ideology, organizations, and strategies of the women's liberation movement, this study documents and analyzes the struggle of the contemporary women's movement in Canada. It begins with a detailed history of the second wave (post-1960), and makes a primary distinction between grass-roots and institutionalized feminism. Emphasizing the former, the book reveals a part of feminist organizing that has often been invisible.

Media Reviews
Adamson's book is a contribution both to social movement literature and to women's studies, illuminating the theory and practice of one wing of the current women's movement and the significance of that tendency in a particular national context. --Choice
