Reviews

Leila J. Rupp, Department of Feminist Studies, University of California at Santa Barbara:

‘The editors have done an impressive job finding documents from non-Euroamerican sources, especially from the global South. Their introductions to each section and biographical introductions to each author included are also impressive, demonstrating that they are clearly very well versed in the relevant literature.’

Nancy Hewitt, Department of History, Rutgers University:

‘Documenting First Wave Feminisms is an outstanding scholarly project that will be of immense value to scholars and students all across the globe. There is no comparable collection of documents that tracks women’s rights movements and feminisms with such exceptional topical and chronological coverage.’

Bonnie S. Anderson:

‘This impressive anthology is a welcome and needed addition to the field of feminist studies ... In one handy volume it provides an exceptional resource.’
