520 The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is one
of the nation's oldest and most influential voices for
equality in education, the professions, and public life.
Tracing the history of the AAUW, Susan Levine provides a
new perspective on the meaning of feminism for women in
mainstream organizations. In so doing, she explores the
problems that women confront and the strategies they have
developed to achieve equal rights. By examining the
experience of groups like AAUW, Levine suggests that
feminism was not so much "reborn" in the 1970s as it was
adopted by a rapidly growing constituency of college
educated women demanding the realization of their goals
