The Feminism of Uncertainty

<div>The <i>Feminism of Uncertainty</i> brings together Ann Snitow's passionate provocative dispatches from forty years on the front lines of feminist activism and thought. In such celebrated pieces as A Gender Diary-which confronts feminism's need to embrace while dismantling the category of woman-Snitow is a virtuoso of paradox. Freely mixing genres in vibrant prose she considers Angela Carter Doris Lessing and Dorothy Dinnerstein and offers self-reflexive accounts of her own organizing writing and teaching. Her pieces on international activism sexuality motherhood and the waywardness of political memory all engage feminism's impossible contradictions-and its utopian hopes. </div><div> </div>
