A revolutionary exploration of the nature of feminism today, its impact on everyday life, and its promise for the future. Determined to extend the boundaries of feminism to embrace social, political and economic equality for all humanity, these exciting young activists and thinkers recast the concepts of feminism to reflect their own experiences and beliefs. Inspired by activist and writer Rebecca Walker, they speak out, challenging many of their own assumptions about the women's movement and demanding that readers recognize a new relationship between the personal and the political. Black and white, male and female, gay and straight, they fearlessly describe their liberation from the feminist ideals that conflict with the reality of who they are, expose shocking secrets, and acknowledge long-hidden accommodations and anomalies.

If you have ever found yourself assigning feminism with certain stereotypes or felt like a failing feminist, this book is a boost. It's essays are full of "humanism," personal struggles, and explorations of feminism, femininity, and self definition. It can help bridge the gap you may see between you and feminism, or help you feel more able to define your role in the movement. This book does not focus on issues of feminism, nor on "traditional" feminist theories. This book is a collection of essays of self definition, making it a "3rd wave" anthology. While this may seem self-centered and ignorant, this book never claims to present theories or answer issues. It simply seems meant to help broaden and bring to earth the concept of feminism and its application in our daily lives, whether we be women or men; black, white, brown or any combination; beauty queens or butches; and any other myriads of dichotomies. Think twice about arbitrary boundaries.
