Women have long been involved in social movement activism in the United States, from the nation's beginning up to the present, and in waves of feminist activism as well as in a variety of other social movements, including the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and conservative mobilizations. The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Women's Social Movement Activism provides both a detailed and extensive examination of the wide range of U.S. women's collective efforts, as well as a broad overview of the scholarship on women's social movement struggles.
