An award-winning and canonical history of radical feminism, whose activist heat and intellectual audacity powered second-wave feminism--30th anniversary edition

A fascinating chronicle of radical feminism's rise and fall from the mid-Sixties to the mid-Seventies, Daring to Be Bad is a must-read for both students of gender history and activists of intersectionality. This thirtieth anniversary edition reveals how current debates about race, transgender rights, queer theory, and sexuality echo issues that galvanized and divided feminists fifty years ago.
