Freedman Estelle B. Feminism, Sexuality, and Politics

Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill. 2006. 270 pages. Language: English.Freedman in the past thirty years has produced a body of work in which scholarship and politics have never been mutually exclusive. This collection brings together eleven essays — eight previously published and three new — that document the evolving relationship between academic feminism and political feminism as Freedman has studied and lived it. Underlying the collection is an inquiry into the changing meanings of gender, sexuality, and politics during the 19th and 20th centuries along with a concern for applying the insights of women's history broadly, from the classroom to the courthouse.
