BUFFALO, N.Y. -- "Feminist Waves, Feminist Generations: Life Stories From the Academy" (Kilden: Oslo, 2007) features an essay contributed by Susan K. Cahn, associate professor in the Department of History, Âé¶¹´«Ã½o College of Arts and Sciences.
Her essay, written with Anne Firor Scott, Sara Evans and Elizabeth Faue, is titled "Women's History in the New Millennium: A Conversation Across Three Generations."
The book discusses the "2.5 generation" -- an alternative to binary feminist categories. It challenges the static figuring of feminist generations that positions the second wave of feminist scholars against a homogeneous third wave.
Based on life stories from contemporary feminist scholars from throughout the world, the contributors emphasize how feminism develops unevenly over time and across institutions and, ultimately, offers a new paradigm for theorizing the intersections between generations and feminist waves of thought.
