Weaving a Tapestry, Compassionately: Toward an Understanding of Young Women’s Feminisms

Feeling Like Feminist Frauds: Theorizing Feminist Accountability in Feminist Family Studies Research in a Neoliberal, Postfeminist Context

“…We argue that the wave metaphor is an imprecise depiction because it gives the illusion of discrete ruptures of feminist thought.
