Janice Fiamengo: Fakery, Posing, and Madness - Feminism Comes of Age in the 1960s

Image
Professor of English, Janice Fiamengo, began as a committed feminist. But gradually began to question the ideology, and has ended up completely disavowing it. Her studies of feminism's history make fascinating reading. Here, she looks at the 1960s - with privileged women like Betty Friedan. Gloria Steinem and Kate Millet coming forward to shape the Second Wave, while men in the glass cellar jobs, making their privileged world of illusion and hate possible, died in great numbers - completely ignored.
