In the tradition of Kate Millet's classic work, SEXUAL POLITICS, Sheila Tobias provides an activist's recollection of the women's movement over the past 35 years. Life, and academic, experience enables Tobias to view at once all sides of such issues as sexual preference, pornography, the "Mommy Track", affirmative action, reproductive rights, and the challenges of "equality" versus "difference".
Review:
"It has become almost impossible to negotiate the byways [of the women's movement] without a map, and Sheila Tobias provides one in "Faces of Feminism," a cogent summary history of the women's movement. Ms. Tobias, a longtime feminist and an academic, co-author of 'Women, Militarism and War,' combines carefully selected personal recollections with a brisk review of the movement's conflicts and achievements....This book is an especially welcome resource for young women trying to make sense of the women's movement before becoming enmeshed in its battles."
Wendy Kaminer, New York Times Book Review, 03/23/97

Book Description: The Perseus Books Group, United States, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 229 x 153 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. As one of the main players in the second wave of feminism, Sheila Tobias returns to Kate Millets central tenet, sexual politics, and argues that it can still unite progressive men and women around a common set of goals. Providing a map of a complex terrain, Tobias details generations of issues, each more radical and therefore harder to tackle than the ones before. She sets the story in two contexts: feminisms own evolving strategies and Americas political landscape. Even though her passion for feminism remains, she is not unwilling to critique the sisterhood and herself for failing to see, for example, that not every woman would be a feminist nor every man an enemy. In the heady first years, feminists forgot that deeper even than gender is the liberal/conservative divide in American politics. From the origins of the movement through feminist theory and new scholarship on women, Tobias traces the political history of the second wave and its comeuppance at the hands of Phyllis Schaflys StopERAcoincidental with the nations careering toward the Right.Somehow, feminism survived the 1980s, but by having to fight brush fires throughout the Reagan-Bush presidencies, the movement lost some of its breadth and much of its taste for the mainstream. Because of her activism and her feeling for the period she chronicles, Tobias is at once inside and outside the issues of sexual preference, pornography, the draft, the Mommy Track, comparable worth, affirmative action, reproductive rights, and the challenges of equality versus difference.
