Feminism Is Not the Story of Their Lives

When Elizabeth Fox-Genovese asked an adult high school equivalency class at Lehman College in New York what it thought of feminism, not one of the seventeen women called hersekf a feminist, and the three men "regarded the word with downright suspicion." Fox-Genovese notes, "They..agree that if women do the same work as men, they should recieve equal pay. They all regard sexual harassment, to say nothing of rape, as intolerable; they all believe that their daughters should have the same employment opportunities as their sons.
