Dear Sisters

- This helps me see why women of the 1950s were taught to be domestic. It was perceived as a privelaged life than poorer women in other countries who had to do physical labor.
- It's interesting to look at how rock and roll music lead into the Civil Rights movement, or at least played a part in its development.
- This gives a good depiction of how the 1960s were.
- I never heard of this "new left." What was the "old" left?
- It's interesting that even within the liberal, leftist rebels, the men still had the positions of power because it seemed so "naturual." That's so ridiculous. These were supposed to be the rebels and yet they still followed tradition male and female roles.
- It's cool how some first wvaers overlapped into the second wave too and stayed feminists all along.
- I can't believe NOW in the 1960s didn't endorse reproductive rights because they were too controversial! I guess back then they were, but now they're such a major issue.
- Sounds like women of other races because white were discriminated against within the women's movement. You would think this wouldn't happen.
- It seems like single-issue politics was more practical, but just slower at achieving goals.
- It seems like since radical feminists didn't want a centralized organization, this hindered them from accomplishing major goals because they were not organized.
- I can understand why these feminist groups didn't want any one person to have more power than another because they had all been suppressed for so long, but it sounds like they were not organized. Even so, you still need a leader and this naturally occurred over time because they couldn't accomplish anything the other way. Women shouldn't work against themselves.
- What a mess! Women because enemies over who was leader or not. They wanted to all be equal, but that's not in human nature. There were both pros and cons to this set up, but mostly cons.
- We have achieved a lot! We can't give up now.
