| FREEDOM AND FEMINISM IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
 The movement for women's
rights arose in the early 19th century as an off-shoot of abolitionism, the
anti-slavery movement that declared each human being to be a self-owner. As with
other abolitionists, the early feminists were individualists who drew
inspiration from the Declaration of Independence and its principles of
individual rights and responsibility. With this vision of
individualist feminism, Liberty for Women boldly explores a wide
range of issues that confront the modern woman, including self-defense,
economic well-being and employment, sex and abortion, the family, technology,
and much more.
