by Anna Coote, Beatrix Campbell
Category: Feminism

An uprising began among women towards the end of the 1960s, which has become one of the most important political developments of this century. It has penetrated the world of paid employment, the mass media, the unions, parliament, local government and personal relationships. It has changed our vocabulary and our consciousness. The women's movement is now entering an exciting new phase made all the more urgent by the worsening economic climate. The next generation of feminists will build on the experience of 15 years and continue the struggle armed with a deeper understanding of the causes of inequality and the nature of women's subordination. Anna Coote and Beatric Campbell, both active feminists since the early days of the movement, look at the progress of women's liberation so far and examine the reasons for its achievements and failures. They provice a unique historical account, a thorough analysis and a powerful strategy for the future. -4e de couv.
