Joan Kennedy Taylor writes and speaks
about the fact that American feminism began
in the nineteenth
century as a classical liberal movement,
interested in both social freedom and women's
rights under
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights;
about historical censorship issues and government
action; and about how the initial feminist
emphasis on
individual rights continues to be the mainstream
that invigorates feminism today.
Topics:
- The classical liberal roots of feminism
- The
history of women's rights under the Constitution
- Splits
within feminism: historical and contemporary
- Individual
rights, the mainstream of feminism
