Unequal Sisters

"A panoply of intricate histories, the fifth edition of Unequal Sisters presents women in dynamic movement: forging networks, engaging in political struggle, and challenging boundaries. Showcasing new directions in feminist thought, this vital reader brings the past into illuminating conversations with the present."

Valerie Matsumoto, Professor and George and Sakaye Aratani Chair on the Japanese American Incarceration, Redress and Community, UCLA

"With new essays, the fifth edition of Unequal Sisters is perhaps the strongest yet in terms of depth, breadth, and diversity of analysis. It is an exciting, vital mix of now-classic statements and cutting-edge work that brilliantly illuminates the complexities of ethnicity, race, class, region, gender, and sexuality. The anthology is undoubtedly among the very best in the field."

Michele Mitchell, author of Righteous Propagation: African Americans and the Politics of Racial Destiny after Reconstruction

"Grounded in the exploration of gender, race, class, and generational differences, this new edition of Unequal Sisters proves, yet again, that the field of Women's History continues to be at the forefront of our collective desire to understand the ways that women's complex pasts remain deeply relevant for all those who struggle for equality and a just society today. Without a doubt, this book is essential reading for all!"

Suzanne Oboler, author of Latinos and Citizenship: The Dilemma of Belonging

"This new collection remains true to the original reader's foundation as a resource for understanding U.S. women's history and its complexities. In its coverage of women of color and additional diverse ways of being, it showcases an ever-wider range of women's experiences and agency from the past to the present. Attention to new concepts, topics and less known groups of women make it an indispensable tool for advancing an inclusive women's history."
