'Radical sisters' gaat over de politieke vrouwenbewegingen van de jaren '60 en '70, in volle tweede feministische golf. De tweespalt tussen organisaties van blanke feministen enerzijds bestond wel degelijk, maar toch vond er ook heel wat kruisbestuiving plaats. Samenwerkingsverbanden zorgden ervoor dat nieuwe methoden, acties en technieken uitgewisseld werden, zodat men vandaag toch - zij het enigszins aarzelend - van een "sisterhood" kan spreken. Zeven hoofdstukken belichten verschillende vrouwenorganisaties en op welke vlakken zij actief waren en hoe zijn - ondanks uiteenlopende politieke standpunten - toch samen mobiliseerden. Verschillen in ideologische en stratetische benaderingen konden dan toch af en toe opzij gezet worden om gezamenlijke acties mogelijk te maken.

No Permanent Waves boldly enters the ongoing debates over the utility of the "wave" metaphor for capturing the complex history of women's rights by offering fresh perspectives on the diverse movements that comprise U.S. feminism, past and present. Seventeen essays--both original and reprinted--address continuities, conflicts, and transformations among women's movements in the United States from the early nineteenth century through today. A respected group of contributors from diverse generations and backgrounds argue for new chronologies, more inclusive conceptualizations of feminist agendas and participants, and fuller engagements with contestations around particular issues and practices. Race, class, and sexuality are explored within histories of women's rights and feminism as well as the cultural and intellectual currents and social and political priorities that marked movements for women's advancement and liberation. These essays question whether the concept of waves surging and receding can fully capture the complexities of U.S. feminisms and suggest models for reimagining these histories from radio waves to hip-hop.
