Life Stories from the Academy Hokulani K. Aikau, Karla A. Erickson, and Jennifer L. Pierce, editors 
Finding the “2.5 generation”—an alternative to binary feminist categories. Feminist Waves, Feminist Generations challenges the static figuring of feminist generations that positions the second wave of feminist scholars against a homogeneous third wave. Based on life stories from contemporary feminist scholars, this volume emphasizes how feminism develops unevenly over time and across institutions and, ultimately, offers a new paradigm for theorizing the intersections between generations and feminist waves of thought.
