The Women's Liberation Movement
This essential volume explores the historical and cultural events leading up to and following the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1970s. This book addresses several issues surrounding the movement, such as the debate surrounding the Equal Rights Amendment and the impact of the "Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination of Women" treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1979. Personal narratives are featured from people impacted by the Women's Movement, including an interview with a member of NOW (the National Organization for Women), and a writer recalling what the liberation movement meant to her in the 1970s.

Feast of Excess
Feast of Excess is an engaging and accessible portrait of "The New Sensibility," as it was named by Susan Sontag in 1965. The New Sensibility sought to push culture in extreme directions: either towards stark minimalism or gaudy maximalism. Through vignette profiles of prominent figures-John Cage, Patricia Highsmith, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, Anne Sexton, John Coltrane, Bob Dylan, Erica Jong, and Thomas Pynchon, to name a few-George Cotkin presents their bold, headline-grabbing performances and places them within the historical moment.
Gender and Academe
This collection of new essays from 29 feminist scholars in a range of humanities and social science disciplines argues that pedagogical methods, as well as curricula and textbooks, should reflect feminist theories and emphases. At the same time, the scholars demonstrate that feminists can advocate both hierarchy and equality, authority and freedom, order and flexibility, objectivity and subjectivity, reason and feeling, without being guilty of philosophical treason.
