FEMINISM IN THE HEARTLAND

<p><em>Feminism in the Heartland</em> tells the story of second-wave feminism. Set in a “typical” American city Dayton Ohio it traces the history of a dynamic utopian movement that transformed the lives of thousands of women who fought to make their city and country responsive to women’s needs. Life stories of fifty-eight activists woven throughout give voice to the subjects themselves and transmit to younger generations a feel for what it was like to be a feminist in the 1970s.</p>
