Ann Snitow

Opis

The Feminism of Uncertainty brings together Ann Snitow s passionate, provocative dispatches from forty years on the front lines of feminist activism and thought. In such celebrated pieces as "A Gender Diary" which confronts feminism s need to embrace, while dismantling, the category of "woman" Snitow is a virtuoso of paradox. Freely mixing genres in vibrant prose, she considers Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, and Dorothy Dinnerstein and offers self-reflexive accounts of her own organizing, writing, and teaching. Her pieces on international activism, sexuality, motherhood, and the waywardness of political memory all engage feminism s impossible contradictions and its utopian hopes."
