Her lively, smart, and thoroughly researched book shows how those terms--and the power arrangements and identities they stood for--were revised, reinterpreted, and repudiated. . . .

The novelty of this work is to place the women's liberation movement in the historical and intellectual contexts in which it emerged and grew . . . Lisa Greenwald's book will therefore be of interest in more than one way: not only does it offer, for the first time on the other side of the Atlantic, a history of the women's liberation movement in France and highlights-in a comparative perspective with the United States movement by example-the peculiarities that cross it. It also lets us French readers see a new approach to second wave feminism by placing it in a longer time frame-by linking it to the French political and intellectual context and to the first writings and first actions of women (mainly since the end of World War II). -Archives du Feminisme * Archives du Feminisme * Daughters of 1968: Redefining French Feminism and the Women's Liberation Movement, is the story of modern-day French feminism which was both impactful and full of intellectual and personal conflict. -Marshal Zeringue, Page 99 Test -- Marshal Zeringue * Page 99 Test * Author InformationLisa Greenwald, PhD, spent almost a decade working in and researching the women’s movement in France, supported by an Andrew W.
