	Random House Academic Resources \| No Turning Back by Estelle B. Freedman
		To measure the breadth of this ongoing upheaval of old patterns, consider the way feminist movements have transformed law and politics, from divorce reforms in Egypt and sexual harassment cases in Japan and the United States to the nomination of equal numbers of male and female candidates by French political parties.
		Both the term feminism and the politics it represents have been continually transformed by the evolving responses of women and men from a variety of cultures.
		Yet the political goals of feminism have survived—despite continuing dis- comfort with the term, a hostile political climate, and heated internal criticism—largely because feminism has continually redefined itself.

		OK, another kind of example would be a welfare system like that in the United States that doesn’t recognise the fact that women - and women alone at this point - can bear children, and therefore doesn’t have the kinds of pregnancy leave policies that one needs.

		When Howard Zinn, America's best-loved historian, began his work on Voices of a People's History of the United States (a companion volume to his classic, A People's History of the United States), his goal was to disrupt the stale paradigm of the inaccurate and at times deceitful representations of US history.

		Howard Zinn is the author of the best-selling A People's History of the United States (over one million copies sold) and numerous other works of history, politics, and biography.
