Leading the Way


This introduction takes particular account of the need to provide information that is relevant to the core documents of feminism in Volume I. Since these documents constitute a basis and background for all the material in the set, this introduction may be considered also as a preface to Volumes II–V. On that account, it is necessarily more detailed than the subsequent individual introductions.
