Tobias starts her review of the feminism's past 30 years with a brief history of its 19th-century underpinnings. This is not the first era in which feminism has splintered into several different camps; the same thing happened in the 1920s after the passage of women's suffrage. Tobias documents many difficult and divisive issues, from pornography to affirmative action, and takes an unflinching look at their failures as well as their achievements. Faces of Feminism is an important and worthwhile book on the state of feminism in the United States today.

Book Description Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. xvi, 332 p. 24 cm. Illustrations. Notes. Index. 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. }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.

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. Very good in good dust jacket. Signed by author.
