Eyeopening. In fact some excerpts I read literally wide-eyed (like the woman who proclaimed that we will not be free until all human reproduction takes place outside the human body).

Excellent anthology that not only charts the historical development of "second wave" feminism to the early 1990s but also provides a diverse and interwoven exploration of the theory, experience, and politics that informed and defined feminism in the second half of the twentieth century. Essential reading that is every bit as necessary in the 21st century as it was when first published in 1994.

I liked the way the author presented her research. She presented various authors with biographical summaries and a sample of each individual's work. The author gives a general overview and smattering of people involved in feminism and pivotal documents, etc., in the women's movement. You can pick and choose what topics and individuals are of interest in your study of the women's movement.
