Stuff Mom Never Told You
The Feminist Past, Present, and Future
Book • 2023
In this book, Anney Reese and Samantha McVey delve into the history, strategy, and emotion that have shaped several milestones and emergent issues of the recent feminist movement.
Starting with Billie Jean King’s famous 'Battle of the Sexes' tennis match, they discuss the Civil Rights movement and the women who helped shape it, the prevalence of rape kit testing backlogs, the intersection of LGBTQ rights and women’s rights, and the critical role women have played in advancing disability rights.
Written with a sharp tongue, infectious curiosity, and a deeply empathetic voice, the authors show the breadth of what feminism can stand for, what it can achieve, and whom it can help lift up.
