Feminism: The Essential Historical Writings

Here are the essential historical writings of feminism. Many of these works, long out of print or forgotten in what Miriam Schneir describes as a maledominated literary tradition, are finally brought out of obscurity and into the light of contemporary analysis and criticism. Included are more than forty selections, coveting 150 years of writings on womens struggle for freedom -from the American Revolution to the first decades of the twentieth century.
