{"product_id":"9780252077289","title":"Feminist Literacies, 1968-75","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeminist Literacies is a history of the truly radical feminist literary practices and pedagogies that flourished during a brief era of volatility and hope. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, ordinary women affiliated with the women's movement were responsible for a veritable explosion of periodicals, poetry, and manifestos, as well as performances designed to support ''do-it-yourself'' education and consciousness-raising. Kathryn Thoms Flannery discusses this outpouring and the group education, brainstorming, and creative activism it fostered as the manifestation of a feminist literacy quite separate from women's studies programs at universities, or from the large-scale political workings of second-wave feminism. Seeking to break down traditional barriers such as the writer\/reader or student\/teacher dichotomies, these new works also forged polemical alternatives to the forms of argumentation traditionally used to silence women, creating a space for fresh voices. Feminist Literacies explores the reasons and mechanisms underlying lay pedagogies and literacies that excited a diverse audience of women and served as a vital part of the liberation movement--and why such an effort was ultimately not sustained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185403953426,"sku":"9780252077289","price":51.03,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780252077289.jpg?v=1774735644","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780252077289","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
