As interesting as feminism is a review of two different books written from two different perspectives shows the changes from feminism's first wave to the third incarnation of the movements ideologies is perhaps one of the more interesting methods to see just how much things have changed over the years, and how much they continue to remain the same. The first book I'll look at is "When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost", the other the 'female eunuch' writting in 1971. Two distinct different styles, the chicken head book is a third wave feminist book aimed at converting African-Americans into conscientious feminists. Deals a lot with the writer's conversion into hardcore feminism from conscientiousness, through the intellectual masturbation that is commonplace in the bourgeoisie, intellectual conversations from the "niggeratti"; former Bronx native moves from Harlem to Brooklyn. Aroused by the indifference of black males response to sexism, as evidenced in their response to the central park jogger case. Joan was then moved to write an article about the case, as her boyfriend of the time had connections at the newspaper.
