From the Guardian: www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/aug/15/meet-the-new-feminists
A brilliant piece by Susie Orbach followed by seven interviews with feminists working in different areas.
(I did feel a bit pissed off with the titles they were given, but perhaps that's just me).
'The feminist movement in the UK and the US did not start with bra burning ? brilliant as that act now seems as a piece of political theatre. It started with small groups of women getting together to talk about "the problem that had no name".
Sitting in a circle, housewives, students, academics, artists, scientists and activists met in small groups to talk about their personal decisions, their sex lives, their love lives, their ambitions, their work, their children and their men, and discovered that the individual idioms of their lives which felt so personal and particular were, in profound and often startling ways, similarly structured and imagined.'
Now we do this on the internet on feminist sites.
