Through a critical review of the politics, activism and cultural creativity of that moment, from the perspective of both preceding and subsequent ‘waves’ of feminism, this book evaluates the legacies of 1975, and their strengths and limitations as new questions and new conjunctures have come into play. Edited and written by an international group of feminist scholars, it offers both a critical re-evaluation of a vital moment in women’s cultural history, and a new analysis of the relationship between second wave agendas and contemporary feminist politics and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘This collection is exceptionally well curated.

Even before one begins to read the individual essays, the volume’s usefulness is apparent: e.g., the glossary includes acronyms of various feminist organizations; the timeline extends from 1944, when French women got the right to vote, to the 2018 debate in \u003cem\u003eLe Monde \u003c\/em\u003eon sexual harassment and violence; and both the up-to-date bibliography and impeccably edited index extend to more than 20 pages.
