'The tension over womanhood as something to defend or transcend, prioritise of contextualise, remains central,' as Jolly cautiously puts it. 'The ongoing appeal of radical feminism is that it addresses primal fears of sexual violence, alongside equally primal pleasures in women's community, desire and love'. * Jenny Turner, London Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eJolly's approach is engagingly readable as well as theoretically lodged, drawing on voices that question and celebrate and highlighting issues that continue to challenge today. * Joanna Bornat, The Oral History Review *\u003cbr\u003ea highly readable and successful portrayal of the people at the heart of the Women's Liberation Movement as complex individuals whose work was life-changing for many people in the UK ... The preservation of the memories in this book, and in the archive, will be an invaluable resource for generations of future historians. * Charlotte James Robertson, Twentieth Century British History *\u003cbr\u003eAmong oral historians of twentieth century women's history and some feminists of a certain age, Margaretta Jolly's Sisterhood and After has been much awaited....Jolly moves from the collective voices of a project to the individual voice of a book author. She confronts issues of choice, diversity, difference, and inequality inside and outside the movement, ambitiously covering the history of a movement that changed the culture, politics, and language of sex and gender as well as discussing the lives of the women who were activists - through all the debates and divisions - with recollections of landmark events, the invasion of the Miss World beauty pageant in 1970, and the founding conference at Ruskin College, Oxford, that same year. * Joanna Bornat, Open University, Emeritus, The Oral History Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface by Sally Alexander Introduction: The Sound of Feminist Memory Chapter 1: Telling Feminist Histories Chapter 2: Oral History and Feminist Method Chapter 3: Forming Feminists: Growing up in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s Chapter 4: Campaigning and Coming of Age in the 1970s Chapter 5: Guilty Pleasures?
