Great Primer and Activist "How To"

This book is in the spirit of _That Takes Ovaries_ and _Grassroots_, but in my opinion does a better job than those two books and other books in this genre. It offers a well-written, lucid discussion about the modern women's movement in the US. It is really a great primer and is best suited for the lay audience or a lower division undergraduate course. I read it in two sittings in less than 24 hours, it was more than a beach read and I dog-eared lots of pages. The best part of the book was at the end of each chapter: examples, resources and other sources. This is definitely a must-have for any young feminist or young people who are wanting to learn more about feminism. The only reason why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that for my purposes it is a 4, btdt and continue to do so.

great intro/refrence book

a well written book about feminism, particularity as it pertains to younger feminists. a great choice for girls and women (or men) who would like to further their knowledge about and/or participation in feminism. along with plenty of solid content in each chapter, the author includes lists of books, films, websites, etc., which make the book a valuable resource even after the first read-through.
