Announcing The "Second Wave" and Beyond:
a new online scholarly community

"The 'Second Wave' and Beyond," created and edited by Kimberly Springer,
Stephanie Gilmore, and Judith Ezekiel, is an online "scholarly
community" on the history of the U.S. women¹s movement since 1960. This
innovative form of electronic communications and research combines
features of a discussion group, blog, and wikipedia incorporated into a
traditional website. It is a free feature of Kathryn Kish Sklar and Tom
Dublin's widely-praised Women and Social Movements website and online
journal, published by the State University of New York at Binghamton and
Alexander Street Press, a pioneer in online publishing of academically
rigorous and innovative scholarship.

"'The Second Wave' and Beyond" will bring together feminist scholars,
activists, and thinkers to create a stimulating and supportive
environment in which to analyze compelling questions about feminist
activism and theories, define new directions for historical research on
this period, and provide a venue for publishing traditional articles. It
will also allow us to write and record this history in new ways made
possible by the medium.

Rather than be inundated with emails, you can log onto "'The Second
Wave' and Beyond" at will and participate as much or as little as you
like. You can:

* start or join ongoing conversations;
* listen to or submit oral histories;
* use or create flexible archives of primary source documents of varying
sizes with text, photos, and clips;
* view or add to our extensive chronology of the women¹s movement;
* discuss new books and websites;
* contribute to teaching resources; and
* comment on current documents.

"'The Second Wave' and Beyond" will study and document the myriad forms
of activism that have constituted one of the most important social
movements of the twentieth century, one that endures into the twenty-first.
