Description
Book SynopsisIn the late 1960s and early 1970s, ordinary women were responsible for a veritable explosion of periodicals, poetry, and manifestos. This book discusses this outpouring and the group education, brainstorming, and creative activism it fostered as the manifestation of a feminist literacy quite separate from women's studies programs at universities.
Trade Review"Moving from the rhetoric of self-health materials through feminist polemics of the time, poems that stretch the boundaries of the genres, and feminist performance work to theory, Flannery reveals the reciprocal permeability between the thinking of the women inside and outside the university. Recommended."--Choice
"I find this book overly influential in my thinking, a measure of its power and erudition."--Feminist Teacher
"Innovative and well-researched. Flannery's fresh look at second-wave feminism within the context of literacy practices will interest a wide range of readers who want to know more about the 'initial generative triangle' of these volatile years of the women's movement."--Women and Language
