Product Description
Marlene LeGates has written a thorough, lively and accessible overview of Western feminist movements from the Middle Ages through the latter twentieth century. With each chapter containing a timeline and brief excerpts from primary source documents, the text serve as an ideal basis for a history of feminism or women's studies course, or as a supplementary text in a broader women's history or western civilization course. LeGates addresses topics such as sexual morality and the role of female visionaries in early Christian society, women's roles in utopian movements and revolutions in the early modern period, and suffrage and the second wave in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The geographical scope of the book is also unique; it includes material on feminism from continental Europe, Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Latin America.
Reader Reviews
Over twenty years ago, I had the distinct honor of being in two of Dr. LeGates's history classes at Capilano College. Therefore this survey is exactly what I expected it to be: well written and thoroughly researched and documented by a scholar of the highest order. I am certain that it will be considered for years to come as a groundbreaking contribution in the field of Western Feminism and a "must read." However, academic critics need to remember that it is an historical survey in under 500 pages and therefore cannot be entirely comprehensive. And while Dr. LeGates and I do not share the same views vis-a-vis the role of the Catholic Church ( or for that matter, all organized religions), as an oppressive agent of female equality, she presented her arguments logically and convincingly. I hope that in the future Dr. LeGates will provide more detailed accounts of specific experiences as a opposed to writing another survey.
