Riassunto

Feminism is arguably the most significant social movement of the last century and it is far from over. Sally Scholz unravels the fascinating coalition of social and political causes, goals, and ideals that came together to motivate the fight for women’s liberation. By taking powerful examples from women’s campaigns, Scholz highlights the ongoing relevance of this movement in parts of the world where the rights of women are still violated by such atrocities as genocide and war rape. Sally J. Scholz is Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, Pennsylvania. She lives in Rosemount, Pennsylvania
