I read the first couple entries--and got the main point that feminisms had been brewing long before the "second wave." There would have been benefit in reading more of the specific experiences, but I got bogged down and distracted.

Good introduction to modern feminist movements around the world. The essays on Iran and Vietnam are particularly interesting. Great stuff on Latin America too.
