In recent years, the “second wave” of feminism has increasingly been conflated with “white feminism” and critiqued as an exclusionary form of feminist politics in contrast to the more intersectional “third” and “fourth” waves. Dr. Amy Ruth Partridge, associate instructor of gender and sexuality studies at Northwestern University, will consider feminist projects and movements since the 1960s. Sponsored by the Friends of the Glencoe Public Library. 

Professor Partridge's lecture is part of "100 Years of Women Voting," a series of programs the library is presenting in conjunction with the Glencoe, Northbrook, and Glenview Public Libraries and the Glencoe-Glenview chapter of the League of Women Voters to commemorate the centennial of the passage of the 19^th Amendment.
