Feminists Who Changed America, 1963-1975 by Love, Barbara J.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780252031892.

Documenting key feminists who ignited the second wave womens movement Barbara J. Love’s 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 womens movement. It tells the stories of more than two thousand individual women and a few notable men who together reignited the womens movement and made permanent changes to entrenched customs and laws. 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 Cotts 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.
