Bonnie Morris - The Feminist Revolution

The Feminist Revolution by Bonnie Morris offers an overview of women’s struggle for equal rights in the late twentieth century.

Beginning with the auspicious founding of the National Organization for Women in 1966, the book traces a path through political campaigns, protests, the formation of women’s publishing houses and groundbreaking magazines, and other events that shaped women’s history.

This sweeping overview of the key decades in the feminist revolution also brings together for the first time many of these women’s own unpublished stories, which together offer tribute to the daring, humor, and creative spirit of its participants.

Bonnie Morris taught women’s history for 22 years at both George Washington University and Georgetown, and is now a lecturer in the Gender and Women’s Studies Department at UC-Berkeley. She is the award-winning author of 14 books, and a 17-year scoring reader for the AP U.S. History exam.
