Summary: In this book, Amy Erdman Farrell traces Ms. from its pathbreaking origins in 1972 to its final commercial issue in 1989. Drawing on interviews with former editors, archival materials, and the text of the magazine itself, Farrell examines the role Ms. played in popularizing feminism and explores the complexities and contradictions created by a publication that sought to forge an oppositional politics within the context of commercial culture. An engrossing and objective account, Yours in Sisterhood illuminates the significant yet difficult connections between commercial culture and social movements. It reveals a complex, often contradictory magazine that was a major force in the contemporary feminist movement.
