More Flavor: Lecture Christine Stansell: The Revolt of the Daughters: Matrophobia and 1960s Feminism

  • Social_large

Christine Stansell, a leading historian of gender history and a new professor at the University of Chicago, speaks tonight about the tensions between second-wave feminists of the '60s and '70s and their domestically oriented mothers. While most women's-rights movements since the 1880s have been fueled by a similar rejection of the previous generation's values, the professor argues that the '60s daughters-vs-mothers fervor was a symbolic form of matricide. Stansell explores the implications of this phenomenon for today's third-wave granddaughters and the future of gender politics.
