I found Feminism: The Essential Historical Writings to be very dry, very white, and very important. But I was glad I read them and I think other feminists should read them as well because they give a good insight into where the feminist movement started and a bit of how we got to where we are, as well as serving as a reminder that we came a long way from where we started. We still have a ways to go, but at least we’re not still at the very start of our journey towards equality. I hope in future volumes of books like this it includes more voices of women of color, and of women from non-western cultures, but overall I found the book to be very good. ( )

I believe this is out of print, but it's worth getting from the library -- an essential anthology for a Women's Studies student ( )
