Feminist coalitions : historical perspectives on second-wave feminism in the United States / edited by Stephanie Gilmore ; foreword by Sara M. Evans.

Much of the scholarship on second-wave feminism has focused on divisions within the women's movement and its narrow conception of race and class, but the contributors to this volume remind readers that feminists in the 1960s and 1970s also formed many strong partnerships.
