 Beat generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term beat generation was introduced by Jack Kerouac in approximately 1948 to describe his social circle to the novelist John Clellon Holmes (who published an early novel about the beat generation, titled Go, in 1952, along with a manifesto of sorts in the New York Times Magazine: "This is the beat generation").
There is typically very little mention of women in a history of the early Beat Generation, and a strong argument can be made that this omission is largely a reflection of the sexism of the time rather than a reflection of the actual state of affairs.
The Beats in general were a large influence on members of the new "counterculture", for example, in the case of Bob Dylan who became a close friend of Allen Ginsberg.

General news article about Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet-publisher whose City Lights Books was the literary center of San Francisco's Beat Era during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Although critics generally had difficulty grasping the thrust of Brautigan's diverse characters (one of whom sat by passively as tigers devoured his parents), the street people of the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco and other areas of the country where the Flower Children had settled hailed him as their literary guru.
