“This book chronicles a critical and long overlooked dimension of sixties-era history, the history of U.S. women’s activism, and the history of second-wave feminism. With cutting-edge research, Frazier complicates our understanding of how international connections and networks shaped the development of women’s liberation efforts within the United States and highlights the different interpretations of ‘feminism’ held by activists from distinct social, political, and generational groups.”--Marian Mollin, author of Radical Pacifism in Modern America

“Jessica M. Frazier has provided the most thorough exploration of international conferences between the Vietnamese women’s unions and global antiwar activists and the trips made by American activists to Vietnam. Scholars will be in her debt.”--Lien-Hang Nguyen, author of Hanoi’s War
