Books by Wini Breines

Traces the evolution of the New Left movement through the Free Speech Movement, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and SDS's community organization projects. For Wini Breines, the movement's goal of participatory decision-making, even when it was not achieved, made up for its failure to take practical and direct action.

This study shows how the feminist movement of the 1960s first found momentum in the seemingly peaceable time of the 1950s. It explores white middle class America and argues that mixed messages given to girls during this decade lent fuel to the fire that would later become known as feminism.
