Trade Review"In what might seem an overcrowded marketplace of books on the politics of identity, Barbara Ryan has assembled an essential collection of papers that broadly construct the basic arguments of similarity and difference dividing and uniting women. Identity Politics in the Women's Movement illustrates the difficulties as well as the rewards of finding a basis for solidarity while honoring the inequalities inherent in women's multiple identities." -- Carol Mueller,Arizona State University, Winner Susan Koppelman Award for Excellence, 2001
