Radioscopie du féminisme américain

An exploration of the major aspects of American feminism (historical, ideological, cultural, political), this book shows the American feminists' growing consciousness since 1945. Despite the déniais of Women's Lib, neo-feminism has indeed corne out the thinking of the professional and intellectual women's élite. The author's most original contribution to an understanding of American feminism is her affirmation that the most accomplished expression of feminist culture is literary production. There lies the guarantee of survival of a movement divided both in its ideological currents as in its modes of action. Whatever its limitations, the women's libération movement is irréversible and more broadly articulated than ever before
