Women's Studies Today: An Introductory Reference Guide

This is the first reference to introduce the diverse elements of cutting-edge feminism, the women's movement, and the field of women's studies to high school and community college students. Women's history and issues are typically short-shrifted in schools, yet high schoolers are increasingly politically and socially aware and exposed through popular culture and the Internet to elements of the dynamic third wave of feminism. This one-stop, up-to-date volume synthesizes information on seminal feminists, terminology, iconic texts, history, and women's studies programs.
