Feminism's Unfinished Legacy: Critiques of Gender and Racial Inequality in Contemporary American Women's Literature Tanfer Tunc

Using the works of Wendy Wasserstein, Paisley Rekdal, and Alice Randall as its focus, Feminism's Unfinished Legacy: Critiques of Gender and Racial Inequality in Contemporary American Women's Literature examines the past, present, and future of feminism in the United States. Not only does it provide a detailed overview of the history and literature of the American women's movement since its inception in the mid-nineteenth century, but it also engages with its unfinished legacy. A must-read for feminist literary critics, this book adds a fresh perspective to previous studies of these authors as well as to academia's understanding of the context, and goals, of Third Wave feminism.
