Book Synopsis
Rebellious generations and the emergence of new feminisms

Trade Review

""Henry makes a convincing case that third-wave feminism can be viewed as the rebellion of young women against their mothers and as their desire to have a feminism of their own... "" —R. Claire Snyder, Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, 2008


"Through analysis of second- and third-wave literature, Not My Mother's Sister provides an interesting psychological and sociological analysis of the conflict that has emerged between younger and older feminists... [The] issues raised in this text make a contribution to our understanding of the history of feminism and should be a welcome addition to women's studies courses...." —Psychology of Women Quarterly
