In universities and colleges across the country, feminists are debating their histories and future legacies. Some older, second wave feminists accuse younger ones of being overly theoretical, insufficiently political, and not grateful enough to previous generations. Some third wave feminists consider their foremothers naive or elitist, resentful of deviations from their established plans and improperly wielding their power. Generations addresses these divisions through analyses of the challenges of "passing the torch".
