Chronologically Gifted: Mary Bricker Jenkins on Feminism Then and Now

"Ironically, I think that because of the changes in the economic base in the world and particularly here in the United States, there is no better time than this moment to be thinking along revolutionary paths."  

Author and social work professor emerita Dr. Mary Bricker Jenkins has had a lifelong focus on feminist practice, poor people’s movements, and economic human rights campaigns.  As she notes, "We can't just be about being angry. We have to be about creating or reclaiming a vision or set of visions that we had very early on in the feminist movement..., and those were visions of a world that looked very markedly different than what we have now."
