Overview: Women in the United States organized around their own sense of a distinct set of needs, skills, and concerns. And just as significant as women’s acting on their own behalf was the fact that race, class, sexuality, and ethnicity shaped their strategies and methods. This authoritative anthology presents some of the powerful work and ideas about activism published in the acclaimed series Women, Gender, and Sexuality in American History. Assembled to commemorate the series’ thirty-fifth anniversary, the collection looks at two hundred years of labor, activist, legal, political, and community organizing by women against racism, misogyny, white supremacy, and inequality. The authors confront how the multiple identities of an organization’s members presented challenging dilemmas and share the histories of how women created change by working against inequitable social and structural systems.
