“On the situations of women around the world today, this
one book provides more illumination and insight than a
dozen others combined. . . . Freedman’s survey is a triumph
of global scope and informed precision.”
–NANCY F. COTT
Professor of History, Harvard University Repeatedly declared dead by the media, the women’s movement
has never been as vibrant as it is today. Indeed as
Stanford professor and award-winning author Estelle B.
Freedman argues in her compelling book, feminism has
reached a critical momentum from which there is no turning
back. Freedman examines the historical forces that have
fueled the feminist movement over the past two hundred
years–and explores how women today are looking to feminism
for new approaches to issues of work, family, sexuality,
and creativity. Drawing examples from a variety of countries and cultures,
from the past and the present, this inspiring narrative
will be required reading for anyone who wishes to
understand the role women play in the world. Searching in
its analysis and global in its perspective, No Turning Back
will stand as a defining text in one of the most important
social movements of all time.
