Introduction
The history of feminism is one that has been filled with controversy and dramatic battles for
equality. There have been many voices that have responded, authors that have given their
female characters independence and vibe, often questioning the world around them. This
pathfinder and resource guide will give readers a chance to experience the holdings in the
Gender Studies collection in fiction, non-fiction, databases, as well as information on
websites and periodicals that explore the different facets of feminism.
This pathfinder presents material from the First, Second, and Third waves of feminism largely
in Great Britain and North America. Feminism is such a broad topic and covers many places,
so this is only a sample of what can be explored. This pathfinder will also include a timeline of
the most important events during the three waves of feminism. It is made for IUBloomington undergraduates and graduates who are interested in British and American
history and literature, as well as Gender Studies.
