The women most crucial to the feminist movement that emerged in the 1960's arrived at their commitment and consciousness in response to the unexpected and often shattering experience of having their work minimized, even disregarded, by the men they considered to be their colleagues and fellow crusaders in the civil rights and radical New Left movements. On the basis of years of research, interviews with dozens of the central figures, and her own personal experience, Evans explores how the political stance of these women was catalyzed and shaped by their sharp disillusionment at a time when their skills as political activists were newly and highly developed, enabling them to join forces to support their own cause.

The New Women's Movement provides a comparative analysis of the social and political impact of the women's movement in ten European countries and the USA since the 1960s. It explains how a decentralized, non-professional, grass-roots organization has been able to effect political change. The contributors examine central issues in the feminist challenge to the establishment, including the abortion debate. Two contending strategies within the women's movement are outlined: one aiming to effect change through legislation; and the other asserting that women's liberation' can only be achieved from outside the existing system. Contributors also explain why the women's movement emerged when it did in different countries. National studies of feminist movements in the USA and ten European countries provide a unique comparative analysis of the women's movement as a social movement, with important implications for social movement theory. The successful emergence of the women's movement in different social and political settings challenges the notion that a decentralized, non-professional, grass root structure is a barrier to political influence.

The term women's liberation remains charged and divisive decades after it first entered political and cultural discourse around 1970. In Feeling Women's Liberation, Victoria Hesford mines the archive of that highly contested era to reassess how it has been represented and remembered. Hesford refocuses debates about the movement’s history and influence. Rather than interpreting women's liberation in terms of success or failure, she approaches the movement as a range of rhetorical strategies that were used to persuade and enact a new political constituency and, ultimately, to bring a new world into being. Hesford focuses on rhetoric, tracking the production and deployment of particular phrases and figures in both the mainstream press and movement writings, including the work of Kate Millett. She charts the emergence of the feminist-as-lesbian as a persistent "image-memory" of women's liberation, and she demonstrates how the trope has obscured the complexity of the women's movement and its lasting impact on feminism.

For over half a century, the countless organizations and initiatives that comprise the Women’s Liberation movement have helped to reshape many aspects of Western societies, from public institutions and cultural production to body politics and subsequent activist movements. This collection represents the first systematic investigation of WLM’s cumulative impacts and achievements within the West. Here, specialists on movements in Europe systematically investigate outcomes in different countries in the light of a reflective social movement theory, comparing them both implicitly and explicitly to developments in other parts of the world.
