About the author
Acknowledgments
1 Introduction
The aims of the book
What is needed is a collective, collaborative effort
A short book only: not a detailed or academic account
A participant analysis
How the book was developed
What the chapters contain
The wider social movements from which the women's movements arose
Conclusion
2 Everything seemed to change at once: women's liberation and the women's movement(s) from the 1960s
For more detail
And so it started
Background and memoir
The author on the display board too
Personal memoir
Where did the movement in UK countries come from? Fertile roots
The new passionate movement
Consciousness-raising
On the one hand: patriarchy
On the other hand: collectives and new ways of organising
Groups and campaigns erupt almost daily
Feminist newsletters, presses and books
Adding to the Four Demands amid a multitude of conferences
Lesbian liberation
The independent Black women's movement
Campaigns, demonstrations, music, art: more and more of everything
A dazzling array

So what distinguishes different strands of feminism?
Transformations, conflicts and divisions
Black women and intersectionality
Moving on: identity politics
Women in the academy
A word on the wider women's movements across the world

Memoirs and memories
Further books, archives and references
A concluding word

Challenging the very fabric of relations between women and men
New services, new beliefs, new ways of living

Funding
Continuing to grow
Meeting the needs of women from Black and minority ethnic communities
Books and resources for wider reference
To conclude
