Alison: ...Thanks for your comments, Alison and *e! <BR/><BR/>Alison: I'm with you - battle weary from the intergenerational strife. I shuttle between being completely worn out by it and being motivated, still, to intervene. That's the challenge, I suppose. Whether to try to strife without snark, or snark through the strife...(It's late. I've got insomnia. Am I making sense?! Back to bed I go!)Deborah Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640101198258524986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693738848429710464.post-29853222153384477792007-03-20T15:04:00.000-04:002007-03-20T15:04:00.000-04:00I think you make some excellent points in this pos...I think you make some excellent points in this post. In teaching feminist theory and women's history, I have often used wave theory to help students get a general grasp on the feminist movement in the United States. Wave theory, however, has its limitations - as is illustrated, perhaps painfully, in this ongoing debate. Feminists young, old, and indifferent need to think about what the issues really are and how we will address them. It sounds like your book will offer some great perspective!E.

I mean, I engage in snarky generation-baiting, too--before I read the post by WomansSpace I laughed a little at her pseudonym, which is so stereotypically second wavey. But I agreed with what she said: lack of historical awareness among young feminists is paradigmatic. And I'm sure that this is painful to older feminists. For these reasons, among others, I'm looking forward to your book hitting the market. I think you're offering historical education and a balanced perspective on older and younger feminisms.Alison Piepmeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854288403934814noreply@blogger.com
