from the Women's Liberation Movement
From

Women's Liberation Movement in the United States, and focus specifically on the

range from radical theoretical writings to humorous plays to the minutes of an
actual grassroots group. Features transcribed texts and scanned images of over
40 articles, pamphlets, flyers, and booklets published from 1969 to 1974 that
focus specifically on the early radical origins of this U.S. movement.
