Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare
"Community Activism and Feminist Politics is a fascinating and impressive collection of scholarship on women's efforts to secure some measure of social and economic justice....a compelling blend of theory and practice through a feminist lens....This book is a testament to the hard fought struggles for justice by "everyday" women."

"Community Activism and Feminist Politics is proof that progressive, exciting, rigorous feminist social science is alive and well, as are the continuing and often successful everyday efforts of women to better their communities. This book offers researchers, students, and activists rich, textured analyses of case studies drawn from diverse examples of community-based activism in the US over the last several decades. Naples promises and delivers a collection that bridges feminist and social movement theory with the very real and complex challenges facing activists struggling for social justice and economic security. For those many of us deeply troubled by growing racial and class polarization, continuing gender inequality, and a politics that has moved steadily rightward, the vision and examples of progressive, activist research in this book are analytically astute and a wellspring of inspiration."
