- Intro page
- Our findings
- Main arguments
- i. Women created institutions to support themselves that general society wasn’t providing
- ii. Gave women a forum to take control of their bodies
- iii. Differences in class, age, sex, race, sexual orientation…sometimes, “the cause” trumped all of these differences and in other times the differences were too large to overcome
- iv. Eventually institutionalized but also heavily grass roots- came from women sitting in a room together-
- v. Refutes _______________ (article Elizabeth Knowlton sent to Risa)
- vi. Our research shatters the image of the Women’s Movement as a pure and idealized coalition of women. Our findings capture the complexities that existed among the women and the dynamics that united and divided women.
- vii. Not “paralysis by analysis”—a balanced attack that gave women the ability to recognize society’s shortcomings and then work together to correct them
- viii. The end of the 50s/early 60s as dramatically different from the 70s [which is explained by…the anti war movement, civil rights movement, blah blah blah]
