Today, feminism is as important as ever. Betty Friedan’s musings, "to take the actions needed to bring women into the mainstream of American society, now; full equality for women, in fully equal partnership with men," still hold fervently true in current society. Young readers still fighting for equality today need to know how the movement began years ago, with such basics as the right to vote, the right to birth control, and the right to equal employment. Leading historian Jules Archer’s account offers fascinating biographies of Susan B. Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Betty Friedan, with a full background of the political organizations they worked for and against.

Free Download Kate Mahoney, "Feminist mental health activism in England, c. 1968-95 "
English | ISBN: 1526162261 | 2023 | 280 pages | EPUB | 458 KB
Feminist mental health activism in England, c.1968-1995 provides the first in-depth examination of feminist mental health activism in England, employing original oral history interviews alongside detailed case studies of unexplored feminist initiatives. It charts how feminist activists in the late 1960s initially rejected psychological approaches, before employing a range of therapies to understand themselves and support one another. This book charts the emergence of feminist mental health groups in the early 1970s, the development of feminist therapy across the 1980s, and the influence of feminist politics on national charity Mind in the 1990s. It examines what participation in feminist activism felt like; demonstrating how these emotions have influenced the construction of its history. The book simultaneously forges a new direction in the history of mental healthcare in postwar England, establishing how feminists’ grassroots support for women redefined ‘community care’.

Free Download Deconstruction, feminist theology, and the problem of difference: subverting the race/gender divide By Ellen T. Armour
1999 | 275 Pages | ISBN: 0226026892 | PDF | 11 MB
The term "feminism" conjures up the promise of resistance to the various forms of oppression women face. But feminism’s ability to fulfill this promise has been undermined by its failure to deal adequately with the difference that race makes for gender. In this book, Ellen T. Armour forges an alliance between deconstruction and feminist theology and theory by demonstrating deconstruction’s usefulness in addressing feminism’s trouble with race. Armour shows how the writings of Jacques Derrida and Luce Irigaray can be used to uncover feminism’s white presumptions so that race and gender can be thought of differently. In clear, concise terms she explores the possibilities and limitations for feminist theology of Derrida’s conception of "woman" and Irigaray’s "multiple woman," as well as Derrida’s thinking on race and Irigaray’s work on religion. Armour then points a way beyond the race/gender divide with the help of African-American theorists such as bell hooks, Hortense Spillers, and Patricia Hill Collins.
