BOOK SYNOPSIS
Chronicling the battles that have shaped modern conceptions of feminism across two generations, Sisterhood, Interrupted illuminates how younger women are reliving—often without realizing it—the battles of the past. Contrary to clichés about the end of feminism, Deborah Siegel argues that younger women are not abandoning the movement but reinventing it. After forty years, is feminism today a culture, or a cause? A movement for personal empowerment, or broad-scale social change? Have women achieved equality, or do we still have a long way to go?

BOOK REVIEWS
"My hope is that after reading this book, you will have a deeper sense of many of the stories that make feminist history and philosophy, and you will use them to continue to figure out what feminism means to you."--from the foreword by Jennifer Baumgardner "Siegel has her finger on the pulse of one of the main issues concerning women today: generational infighting around the unfinished business of feminism. Its an issue that concerns everyonewhether or not they use the f-word."--Catherine Orenstein, author of Red Riding Hood Uncloaked "Someone should make a t-shirt for Deborah Siegel that says, 'This is what a feminist historian looks like'...a thorough and engaging narrative."--Merri Lisa Johnson, Director of the Center for Women's and Gender Studies, USC Upstate
