Beyond the gender gap
Burk, Martha | June 10, 1996 issue

While the vast majority of women of all racial, ethnic and class backgrounds repeatedly tell pollsters that they believe the movement has improved their lives (77 percent in a 1992 poll), their approval of organizations working on women's rights and specifically of feminist organizations is somewhat weaker. There are some hopeful signs. One is that the gender gap has re-emerged with a vengeance; angry women may play the role in this election that angry men did two years ago. The women's movement has an opportunity to seize this moment to make a real difference for American women.
