Feminists Who Changed America,
1963-1975 will be the first comprehensive directory to
document many of the founders and leaders (including both
well-known and grassroots organizers) of the second wave
women's movement. It tells the stories of more than two

The biographical entries on these pioneering feminists
represent their many factions, all parts of the country, all
races and ethnic groups, and all political ideologies. Nancy
Cott's foreword discusses the movement in relation to the
earlier first wave and presents a brief overview of the second
wave in the context of other contemporaneous social
movements.
