Hackleman, Leah Diane. "The First Year? Gendering 1968," American Culture Studies, Bowling Green State University, August 1995.
In identifying gender norms within the cultural products of three different but overlapping public spheres—the dominant culture, the counterculture, and the Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM)—this project examines the construction of womanhood in the United States in 1968. To chart the outer limits of gender performance this work analyzes mainstream media, underground publications, films, books, and political activism to determine extremes of female behavior during the self-identified first year of the WLM. Women’s liberationists reimagined liberated forms of womanhood primarily for white women while simultaneously ignoring race as an important condition of gender performance for female social subjects.
