The Feminist Revolution: The Struggle for Women’s Liberation 1966-1988
by Bonnie J Morris and D-M Withers
(Virago, £30)
IN THIS new and beautifully produced history of feminism over two decades from the 1960s to the 1980s, the authors tell the story of the many individuals and groups that made up the women’s liberation movement.
It's a narrative that roves across Britain, Europe and beyond and reflects and reviews the way in which different women from different ethnicities and backgrounds sought freedom and equality. Quite rightly, they state: “There was no single, cohesive movement but rather a diversity of voices whose personal issues informed their specific outlooks.”
