Her first impression? Oh, brother! But as other women around the room told their stories, they resonated with something deep in Brownmiller's psyche, and when it was time to tell her own--"I've had three illegal abortions"--the ambitious reporter experienced something akin to a road-to-Damascus conversion.<p> Brownmiller's 1975 classic, <I>Against Our Will</I>, changed the nation's perception of rape and turned her into a feminist icon overnight. <I>In Our Time</I>, though, is less an argument for transformation than an encyclopedic look at the forces that shaped the social movement of late-20th-century feminism, from occasional clashes of colorful personalities like Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, and Germaine Greer (who, 30 years later, have a tendency to seem larger than life) to the methodical, often unexciting, day-by-day planning behind the landmark sit-ins, lawsuits, and other headline events. Sisterhood's call to arms was most persuasive when the enemy was economic oppression and the battle cry "equal pay for equal work!" Solidarity was harder to muster, Brownmiller reports, when it came to targeting social injustices, particularly those pertaining to sex. Were Clarence Thomas's raunchy remarks to Anita Hill business as usual or a type of harassment? Was pornography a male counterreaction intended to degrade newly liberated women or an effort to make sexual pleasure available to fantasists of all persuasions? These arguments persist today--and <I>In Our Time</I> reminds us that they must be viewed in historical context. <I>--Patrizia DiLucchio</I> 908604 9 11 1999 In Our Time: Memoir of A Revolution total:76|5:22|4:23|3:26|2:4|1:1| 76 289 145 12 250344 0385314868 9780385314862 65 12 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173138309m/250344.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/250344.In_Our_Time_Memoir_of_A_Revolution 3 0 false Wed Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 23:53:17 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 03:07:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 250344 0385314868 9780385314862 65 12 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173138309m/250344.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/250344.In_Our_Time_Memoir_of_A_Revolution 3 0 false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Sep 23 18:35:52 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 30 06:40:04 -0800 2008 twice more...]]> 250344 0385314868 9780385314862 65 12 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173138309m/250344.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/250344.In_Our_Time_Memoir_of_A_Revolution 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 08 11:57:42 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 05:01:55 -0800 2008
