This timely new book explores the formation of the Radical Feminist Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, its prominent leaders and organizations, and the issues it sought to address. Radical Feminists: A Guide to an American Subculture provides a current, comprehensive introduction to the Radical Feminists of the 1960s and 1970s, familiarizing readers with the individuals, organizations, actions, and philosophies that comprised this now-historic movement. Of course, the feminists of the 1960s and 1970s stood on the shoulders of the crusaders who came before. Thus, the book looks at important historical events that paved the way for Radical Feminism, also examining the influence of the Women's Suffrage, Civil Rights, and New Left Movements. Specific social and political issues that concerned the Radical Feminists are explored, including sexuality, sex roles, contraception, and abortion; equal opportunity; feminism in the media; and women in leadership. Finally, the work scrutinizes the fate of the Radical Feminists and their legacy, discussing how their work affected the women's movement overall and how it affects the women—and men—of today.

His presence gives me a sense of dread. All of the shadows turn what would be their heads to look at him as they take flight to his lead, following him like a king, but he is not the King. He is the evil invader. Before me, the land seems to go on. Cities of wealth with food piled high into the sky. Everything is enveloped in flashing blue light. Abruptly, a horrendous vision blazes over top of the seeming illusions of beauty. Everything swiftly explodes into mounds of rotted garbage, decaying and destroyed. Everything is dead. The food is putrefied and decomposed. The evil invader is no longer beautiful and full of glory. He is left broken, horrid, and more horrific than any nightmare I have ever seen. I can taste the scream of horror in my mouth. My breath is caught within my chest. I feel like I am suffocating. I cannot make a sound. Ringing echoes loudly in my ears. I hear screaming. I hear moaning. I hear anguish, and I am trapped!

This book introduces many basics in the hope readers will pursue a deeper study to how their walk in the spiritual realm of their life can improve. Each of us has a personal place in the heart of the Father, and it is up to us to seek out our destiny, job, and responsibilities in His family business. The book shares many of the authors personal experiences with honesty and open candidness. She is not afraid to call it like she sees it. The world is suffering from lack of direction, and its time to wake up. We are not being taught the meat of the Word in most cases. Our society no longer expects accountability, and that has moved into the church. A church has become a social group and not a place of direction and healing. The topics addressed here are only starting points. There are incredible resources available today to enlighten us on every facet of life and study. The author has begun two of those resources that will be available in the future. One is addressing marriage and the broken promise I do. The second is taking a hard-line stand against the lack of leadership in the family and the church called crossing the line.
