From the Civil War (did it ever really come to an end?) to the fight for civil rights, followed by black liberation, women's liberation, and all the battles for equality that continue, there has been a simmering hostility that was bound to erupt.

Helping to ignite the women's liberation movement in the U.S. in the '60s, the book tackled what Friedan called "the problem that has no name," a dissatisfaction among women, like herself, who were defined only by their roles as wives and mothers.

Also, from reading about the genesis and early days of New York Magazine, I knew that she had written this very famous story in 1969, "After Black Power, Women's Liberation," in which she writes about black women and people as, well, human.

In "The Town Hall Affair," directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, this same double vision is applied to other participants in the fabled and combative "Dialogue on Women's Liberation," which was the hottest ticket in town for the New York literati of 46 years ago.

Wild Women is a rarely seen body of work that embodies the DIY ethos of the era, and VICE recently sat down with Resnick to talk about what it was like documenting her peers and how Women's Liberation shook up the 70s and 80s.

But they were of a piece with the prevailing socio-political mores of a period that was both on the brink of radical change -- the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, the gay rights movement, the women's liberation movement -- and resistant to it.

That remake (directed by Frank Pierson, who adapted along with Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne) sought to update Esther for the women's liberation era — the outcome is the same, but her commitment to him wavers when it never does with the earlier Esthers.

Zeisler is on firm ground when she's tearing apart the woeful attempts of the corporate press to slice down women's liberation and package it into something salable, but she fails to draw a clear enough distinction between the media women consume and the media they increasingly create.

If we remember the gay rights movement as entirely male, or the women's liberation movement as entirely white—if we whitewash the past—then it becomes less imperative for those in the present to ensure our movements are equitable and designed to represent those most needing representation.

Dittmar notes that the women's liberation movement likely contributed to the spike in the '70s, while the allegations of sexual harassment that Anita Hill raised against Clarence Thomas in 1991 spurred more women to pursue office and usher in a "Year of the Woman" in 1992.
|
|
But other opponents, like the Women's Liberation Front, an advocacy group that has submitted testimony on so-called "Gender X" bills in several states, argue that bolstering the nonbinary category will harm people who face discrimination and violence precisely because they are born with female anatomy.

Such as: What did women's liberation, primarily a white, middle-class movement, have to offer African-American women in a country where, as late as the 1960s, de facto slavery still existed; a country where racism, which the movement itself shared, was soaked into the cultural fabric?

So, for women who had any experience with that and then went through the tremendous hostility they initially received in the early days of the women's liberation movement, you can see why they would be tremendously excited at the idea that a woman would take on this new job.

While movements like women's suffrage, abolition, the women's liberation of the 1970s, and activism by icons like Angela Davis, Marsha P. Johnson, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg helped women, LGBT people and people of color, the backlash against marginalized people obtaining a piece of the pie has been real.

On the other hand, the subsequent detainment of the very activists that fought for the right to drive, combined with the prince's motives—which many believe are rooted in economics and public relations—doesn't lend itself to the beginning of an era of women's liberation in the KSA.

It emerged out the shattered remnants of the 1960s New Left, a paranoid faction of American 1970s radical feminism that the historian Alice Echols termed "cultural feminism" to distinguish it, and its wounded attachment to the suffering-based femaleness it purports to celebrate, from other strands of women's liberation.

An exhibition gallery dedicated to the art of protest showcasing posters from Black Panther Oakland, the Native American occupation of Alcatraz Island, student anti-war broadsides, and Women's liberation are precursors of Black Lives Matter, Native American land battles around the Dakota Access pipeline, and the Women's March on Washington.

Though one could argue women's magazines are inherently political, with magazines like Ms. sounding the voice of women's liberation in the mid-20th century, it's no secret that toward the end of the century they earned more of a reputation for offering silly sex advice than a sharp political viewpoint.

At Mary-Anne Martin Fine Art gallery, I find sketches I had not previously seen by Leonora Carrington, who had a fascinatingly complex life, which included being a Surrealist painter and sculptor, having a romantic relationship and artistic collaboration with Max Ernst, and helping to found the Women's Liberation Movement in Mexico.

She was a talented and bold artist who first made her mark in the New York School, a notoriously inhospitable place for women artists, who in midlife whole-heartedly embraced the political ideology of women's liberation and sought to find aesthetic principles and methodologies that would be a visual equivalent of feminism.

Rejecting the nascent women's-liberation movement, she nevertheless blamed sexism for the G.O.P.'s failure to fully embrace its most strenuous conservatives: The Republican Party is carried on the shoulders of the women who do the work in the precincts, ringing doorbells, distributing literature, and doing all the tiresome, repetitious campaign tasks.

Her brilliance and indomitable spirit shine through in Women Race & Class, where she takes readers on a deep dive through the women's liberation movement in the U.S. White Teeth by Zadie Smith, 2001When Zadie Smith released "White Teeth" 16 years ago, critics couldn't help but compare her to the great writers of eras past a.k.a.

The question is: How will the National Organization for Women — the beacon institution of women's liberation, with a wide-reaching grassroots network and experience up the wazoo; one of the most recognizable symbols of female might; the sisterhood legacy that launched a thousand marches — re-emerge as the sexism-fighting, activist-awakening power organization for a new generation?

Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte for the Wooster Group, The Town Hall Affair rehashes one raucous night in April 1971 when the now-defunct Theatre of Ideas staged a panel on Women's Liberation with Mailer serving as an immoderate moderator for a group of distinguished feminist academics including Diane Trilling, Jacqueline Ceballos, Germaine Greer, and the culture critic Jill Johnston.

I'm a bit disappointed that two of Ms. Streisand's more daring efforts are not available to stream legally: "The Owl and the Pussycat," (1970), in which she shook up her image by playing a salty-mouthed prostitute, and "Sandbox," a women's liberation comedy from 1972 featuring Ms. Streisand as a housewife whose boredom yields an elaborate fantasy life.

The militant anti-feminist might seize on it as proof of the perfidy of women's liberation: Far from creating an unfair "second shift" for women who feel like they're supposed to have it all, the feminist revolution has actually created one for men, depriving them of paternal honor while asking them to spend more hours in harness than before.

If the reason for the emergence of such a figure every 25 years or so is always a little mysterious, it is because no one can anticipate the work they do until they have done it — think of Yves Saint Laurent putting women in trousers on the eve of the women's liberation movement in 1966 — and yet, in retrospect, nothing seems more obvious.

Beginning at the age of 230, and over the next four decades, Ms. Wood starred or appeared in more than five dozen films and television shows and was an emblem of Hollywood glamour and beauty, wholesome but sensual — a good girl growing up in front of American moviegoers during the squeaky-clean 22003s and the sexual revolution and era of women's liberation that followed.

Women Strike, a product of the National Women's Liberation (NWL) activist group, seeks to emphasize the fact that the cuts championed by both Trump and Republicans in Congress—to "eliminate every social contract from public schools to Medicare to Social Security"—means that they "expect the family (that is, WOMEN) to fill in the gaps and pick up the pieces," according to their official poster.

From the debates surrounding socialism to women's liberation and youth issues, from politically engaged travel journalism to the "Jewish question," from architecture to urban planning to film—[these books reflect] the freewheeling, curious mindset of the time … There was no going back after January 30, 1933, when most of this culture was trampled and burned, its creators persecuted or driven out of the country.

He had an ability to convey the humanity of his subjects, whether an unnamed demonstrator holding an "I Am a Man" signboard in Memphis in 1968 or Martin Luther King, Jr, delivering his 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, DC. Among the later highlights of the archive are shots of the 1970 first women's liberation march in New York and portraits of artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

I'm sure there's a much longer history, but where I came in was around the '60s, when there was a lot of radical activism, and there were a lot of groups that were thinking about women's liberation and women's rights and also the interests of black people and interests of non-white groups of bodies, and how they, what they needed to be be well, and what they needed for care taking.

Other Surrealist types in the show include Kahlo, Antonio M. Ruíz (nicknamed "El Corcito" for his resemblance to the then-popular matador Torero El Corcito), the Guatemalan artist Carlos Mérida, José Horna, Leonora Carrington (also a founding member of the Women's Liberation Movement in Mexico during the 1970s), and Alice Rahon, but Paalen was unique in founding his own counter-Surrealist art magazine, DYN, in which he tried to reconcile diverging materialist and occult tendencies in Surrealism with his philosophy of contingency.

Collapse the social movements of the twentieth century into this one room, and the interplay is easy to see … fears that white women voting and working outside the home would ruin their femininity … that the end of Jim Crow meant the end of white womanhood … that women's liberation meant women would become lesbians (who both hated men and acted like them) … that the acceptance of trans men would mean lesbians would become men … and, with the bathroom litany especially, fears that trans women were really just men—and, more so, were predators.

Among the women Perkins writes about are Connie Royster, whose aunt Constance Baker Motley was the first black woman to serve as a federal judge, and whose family worked as chefs and managers in Yale's fraternities; Kit McClure, who played trombone and became a member of the New Haven Women's Liberation Rock Band; Shirley Daniels, who became active in the Black Student Alliance and focused on Afro-American studies; and Lawrie Mifflin, a field hockey player who struggled to establish a women's team and went on to work at The New York Times as a reporter, editor and executive.
