Also challenging the contemporary \"lean-in,\" trickle-down feminist philosophy and asserting that women's histories all too often depoliticize politics, labor issues, and divergent economic circumstances, Dorothy Sue Cobble, Linda Gordon, and Astrid Henry demonstrate that the post-Suffrage women's movement focused on exploitation of women in the workplace as well as on inherent sexual rights. The authors carefully revise our \"wave\" vision of feminism, which previously suggested that there were clear breaks and sharp divisions within these media-driven \"waves.\" Showing how history books have obscured the notable activism by working-class and minority women in the past, \u003cem\u003eFeminism Unfinished\u003c\/em\u003e provides a much-needed corrective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCobble, Dorothy Sue:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDorothy Sue Cobble\u003c\/strong\u003e lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and teaches at Rutgers University, where she is the Distinguished Professor of History and Labor Studies.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGordon, Linda:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLinda Gordon\u003c\/strong\u003e, winner of two Bancroft Prizes and the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Book Prize, is the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Second Coming of the KKK\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDorothea Lange\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eImpounded\u003c\/em\u003e, and the coauthor of \u003cem\u003eFeminism Unfinished\u003c\/em\u003e.
