Rosen, Ruth. The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America . Penguin, 2006.
Primarily demonstrating the connections between New Left movements and second wave feminism, Rosen starts with Friedan's exploration into the "Feminine Mystique" and follow's feminism through the backlash period of the late eighties and beginnings of third wave feminism of the early nineties. While making note of critiques against 'mainstream' feminism, Rosen does not explore in depth intersections with feminism including race, class, nationality, sexuality, etc. Strong focus on the generational gap and conflicting views of Mothers from the 50s and younger women and feminists from the 60s and 70s.
