This is a great historical account of Second Wave feminism . It doesn't just focus On US . It talks about Britain and Europe. It was a little long. It has a great intro by Roxane Gay .

I thought the end section about where we go from here could've been longer; otherwise, very informative about the history and origins of the feminist revolution.

Good look at modern feminism and where we go from here. 

A history of recent feminism with an emphasis on America and Europe. It does have chapters on women of color and lesbian women but only a bare mention of transgender women. This book is a classic coffee table book, a third of the content consists of photos and artwork heavily interlaced with one or two page spreads that consists of short biographies, histories of various incidents and specific issues. Printed on glossy paper, its a bit large, it wont fit on a standard sized bookshelf. A decent read and could be read very slowly since there are many self contained articles.

If you're looking for theory, recommendations for action or are interested in research, this is not the book you want.
