What were the driving forces that finally caused the feminist movement in the 60s/70s? What is most important for young women to understand about the time period preceding the movement?
I think the driving force for the feminist movement was the Civil Rights Movement. It taught us that people determined to be free could overcome society’s opposition and their own doubts and fears. Many of the early organizers of the women’s liberation movement had been active in civil rights work and the experience served them well.
