A valuable resource towards the end of the book. Slightly underwhelming though.

[Ashley Van Vonderen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an overview of feminism through the 90s, with a discussion of what may lay ahead. A slightly dated and vague source, but I got the pages I needed to back up my research.
