The "Second Wave" and Beyond
The only online scholarly community dedicated to discussing women’s movement history
The "Second Wave" and Beyond is an online “scholarly community” on the history of the U.S. women’s movement since 1960. This innovative form of electronic communications and research combines features of a discussion group, blog, and wikipedia incorporated into a traditional website.
“The ‘Second Wave’ and Beyond” brings together scholars, activists, and thinkers to create a stimulating and supportive environment in which to analyze compelling questions about feminist activism and theories, define new directions for historical research on this period, and provide a venue for publishing traditional articles.
Recent events:
• Current discussion topics include how to teach abortion rights to 19-year-old students (http://scholar.alexanderstreet.com/x/7wg)?
• Space to reflect on the life and work of activist, writer and intellectual Ellen Willis (b. 1941- d. 2006) (http://scholar.alexanderstreet.com/x/7g0).
• Our first discussion on the historic women’s movement document, “The Personal is Political” is archived on the site and available for comment (http://scholar.alexanderstreet.com/x/3QU).
• Historical and recent photos of women’s movement activism by Ellen Shub, Catherine Deudon, and Jo Freeman.
