Basically, the Social Movements Reader combined with digestions by cases, concepts, and essential readings. The division of chapters are logical and scenically. The reason why and how did the movements occurred and declined are in detail by plenty original text with the examples happened in the US and abroad. Who participated in or gave up also summarized in logical, how to organize and mobilize, the interaction between sports and other macroscopic mechanisms, the results of sports and other macro propositions…and so on. In this book, it abrades the knowledge about social movements or theories of social movements. “Political or Social Protest Protest refers to the act of challenging, resisting, or making demands upon authorities, power holders, cultural beliefs and practices by some individual or group.”(Jeff Goodwin, and James M. Jasper, John Wiley & Sons, 2014.) “A social movement is a collective, organized, sustained, and nonlife, situational challenge to authorities, power. For holders, or cultural beliefs and practices.” (Jeff Goodwin, and James M. Jasper, John Wiley & Sons, 2014.) Guided with those two concept, the women’s movement is obviously and outstanding. As others social movements, the women’s liberation movement had a quite inconspicuous start. The women’s freedom movement contains two branches, one is reform, and the other is radical. In another word, there are women’s rights and women’s liberation. It always starts in groups in seriously styles and different organizations. Some of them were fit into the traditional society reorganization, but some of them not. On March August of 1909, women workers in Chicago, and workers in the national textile and clothing industry held large-scale strikes and demonstrations. They wanted to increase the salary upon the eight-hour work system, and get the right to vote. This is the first organized mass struggle of workingwomen in history, which fully demonstrates the power of workingwomen. The struggle received wide sympathy and enthusiastic response from women and the masses in the country, even the response from other countries in the world, and finally, the women won. To memory the first International Women's date 8th,March, 1911 and to memory the first International Women's Day people named March 8th as International Women's Day, also known as March 8th by Women's Day, and March 8th International Women's Day. It is a festival for women in all countries in the world to strive for peace, equality and development.
