Contents

Sisterhood Is Forever shows the reader feminism's emphases and accomplishments as of 2003.^[4] Essays range in tone from scholarly to narrative and provide both conservative and liberal view points.^[5] The focus is on feminism in the United States.^[6] The book addresses why feminism is still needed in the 21st century, providing "alarming" statistics about the status of women in the United States in Morgan's introduction.^[7]

Reception
