Feminism, Sexuality, and Politics

"One of a small group of feminist pioneers in the historical profession, Estelle B. Freedman teaches and writes about women's history with a passion informed by her feminist values. Over the past thirty years, she 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."--BOOK JACKET

First sentence: The feminist scholarship of the past decade has often been concerned, either explicitly or implicitly, with two central political questions: the search for the origins of women's oppression and the formulation of effective strategies for combating patriarchy.
