Baumgardner brings knowledge of the profound changes wrought by Second Wave feminism, experience analyzing the feminism of her generation, and respect and support for the countless younger feminists who are contributing to the current feminist movement. The Board of Directors looks forward to working with Baumgardner in the years to come and is excited about the new energy she brings to the Feminist Press to continue its mission of publishing revolutionary books and ideas.
