About the Book

Changing the Wor(l)d draws on feminist publishing, postmodern theory and feminist autobiography to powerfully critique both liberal feminism and scholarship on the women's movement, arguing that both ignore feminism's unique contributions to social analysis and politics. These contributions recognize the power of discourse, the diversity of women's experiences, and the importance of changing the world through changing consciousness. Young critiques social movement theory and five key studies of the women's movement, arguing that gender oppression can be understood only in relation to race, sexuality, class and ethnicity; and that feminist activism has always gone beyond the realm of public policy to emphasize improving women's circumstances through transforming discourse and consciousness. Young examines feminist discursive politics, critiques social science methodology, and proposes an alternative approach to understanding the women's movement.

Review :
"Young does an excellent job of intermeshing theory and experience within the broader context of social movement studies and changing the world." -- Rose Capdevila,Department of Psychology, University of Reading "Young makes an important contribution in inviting us to rethink just what 'politics' is. In challenging the narrow account offered by more conventional social scientists, she encourages us to look for politics in unusual places. The result is the discovery of a realm of feminist strength an dpower, a revelation which will surely inspire those involved in feminist struggles." -- Juliet A. Williams, Women & Politics
