In \u003cem\u003eRemapping Second-Wave Feminism\u003c\/em\u003e, Janet Allured attempts to reshape the national narrative by focusing on the grassroots women's movement in the South, particularly in Louisiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book delves into unexplored origins of the feminist movement. While acknowledging the ways that the fight for African American civil rights produced the women's liberation movement in the South--and subsequently in the North--Allured also locates other wellsprings of the movement that were particularly important to southern change-seekers, especially preexisting women's organizations such as the League of Women Voters and the YWCA. Also, for many southern feminists, being part of a faith tradition that emphasized social justice reform is what ultimately propelled them into working for gender equality. Allured highlights key figures in Louisiana; divisions based on regional, sexual, and ideological differences; access to abortion; lawsuits that had national implications that emanated from southern women; and the fight against sexual assault and domestic violence. Through detailed archival and oral history research, she has forged a new path, making this a foundational work for the field. \u003cem\u003eRemapping Second-Wave Feminism\u003c\/em\u003e will amend how we reflexively view feminism as a northern phenomenon, giving proper due to the southern contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Allured\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820354774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJanet Allured is a professor of history at McNeese State University, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eLouisiana Women: Their Lives and Times\u003c\/i\u003e, Volume I(Georgia) and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eLouisiana Legacies: Readings in the History of the Pelican State.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40239077654643,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_4f25ac76-9a00-4d66-a8ed-47f88312450a.jpg?v=1657114178","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/remapping-second-wave-feminism-the-long-womens-rights-movement-in-louisiana-1950-1997-9780820354774","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
