	Radical feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radical feminism is a branch of feminism that views women's oppression (or patriarchy) as the basic system of power upon which human relationships in society are arranged.
		This feminism was truly radical in both a political sense, and in the sense of seeking the root cause of the oppression of women.
		Other critics of radical feminism from the political left, including socialist feminists, strongly disagree with the radical feminist position that the oppression of women is fundamental to all other forms of oppression; these critics hold that issues of race and of class are as important or more important than issues about gender.

	Towards A Radical Movement
		The discontent of the women activists was brought to the surface, therein initiating a radical women's movement.
		Women come into the movement with two perspectives: either with a -primary concern for women's issues- as abortion, child day- care centers, or the desire to research, and discuss--in greater depth women's position in society, or with a more general concern about political issues such as racism and the war.
		Radical women are not forming groups for the purpose of segregating them selves from men, but in order to focus on the means by which women can come to terms with those institutions.

	Radical Women -- Revolutionary Socialist Feminism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Radical Women believes that the oppression of women is a political, legal and economic question of first priority.
		Women's political leadership is decisive to the outcome of all the separate movements, and accordingly, we are destined to play a vanguard part in the general movement for revolutionary social change.
		As Radical Women, we understand and promulgate the concept that the Woman Question is a decisive issue in the unfolding international revolution because the exploitation of women has created a specially oppressed sex whose potential for revolt and capacity for leadership are second to none.

	Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, Empress Theodora of Byzantium was a proponent of legislation that would afford greater protections and freedoms to her female subjects, and Christine de Pizan, the first professional female writer, advanced many feminist ideas as early as the 1300s, in the face of attempts to restrict female inheritance and guild membership.
		Some radical feminists, such as Mary Daly, Charlotte Bunch, and Marilyn Frye, have advocated separatism—a complete separation of male and female in society and culture—while others question not only the relationship between men and women, but the very meaning of "man" and "woman" as well (see Queer theory).
		This sexual revolution that women were then able to experience was seen as positive (especially by sex-positive feminists) as it enabled women and men to experience sex in a free and equal manner.

	TOWARDS A REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN'S UNION: A Strategic Perspective
		Women are oppressed both culturally and economically and while it is false to separate the two, it is crucial to understand the ways in which each operates in different class and race groups.
		Women as unpaid laborers in the home, women as transmitters,of bourgeois ideology, women as social mediators between their families and the system: the result is not a simple scaling of differences but a complex interaction between sex, race and class oppression that we are only just beginning to understand.
		Middle class women who become aware of their own oppression as women, still realize that they are not, in fact, the most oppressed people around, and lacking a sense of legitimacy in organizing, turn inward to focus on personal experiences.

	Shulamith Firestone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was a central figure in the early development of radical feminism, having been a founding member of the New York Radical Women, Redstockings, and New York Radical Feminists.
		She stated that women must seize the means of reproduction and advocated the use of cybernetics to carry out human reproduction in laboratories, as well as the proliferation of contraception and abortion to, and state support for child-rearing, enabling them to escape their biology.

		The Radical Women claim that if women stand up for their rights and are prepared to defend themselves, they will stop the violence threatened by others.
		During their discussion, the women said that beyond supporting a sexist stereotype, the police can not be trusted because they are supported by elected officials.
		The Radical Women claim that people who assault abortion clinics are not ready to die for their cause.

		Radical women understand such things as limits of science, while many men, living in ignorant fog of high-tech worship, do not understand there are no heroes, miracle fixes, or scientist worth the name who can defend this increasing planetary poisoning and looting going on in the name of science, war, religion, and free enterprise.
		A radical may choose to defend what rightfully belongs to all people, privately and as necessary for survival of the species, from autonomy over the body to quality of life, health to quality of local and global environment.
		Radical women cannot afford to trust men to get their act together in time to make a significant difference, before the planet’s ability to support life gets too far gone.

	Radical Women: The Haymarket Tradition - By Carolyn Ashbaugh
		Jessie Bross Lloyd, whose father William Bross was one of the owners of the Chicago Tribune and a former lieutenant-governor of Illinois, was disinherited from an estimated $5-million fortune because of her and her husband Henry Demarest Lloyd's efforts on behalf of the anarchists.
		If the repercussions of Haymarket affected women such as these, whose social and political views were comparatively moderate, one can imagine the effect the events had on women who were already active in the anarchist movement in pre-Haymarket days, and who had personally known and worked closely with the Chicago Martyrs.
		Women whose destinies were directly linked to Haymarket became heroines of a whole new generation of radical women.

	Engendering the Chinese Revolution
		Her detailed reconstruction of the lives of the major women activists of the period is admirable.
		For the first time, Gilmartin reveals the extent to which revolutionaries in the 1920s were committed to women's emancipation and the radical political efforts that were made to overcome women's subordination and to transform gender relations.
		Women activists whose experiences and achievements have been previously ignored are brought to life in this study, which illustrates how the Party functioned not only as a political organization but as a subculture for women as well.

	H-Net Review: Katherine Osburn on No Middle Ground: Women and Radical Protest
		Yet, according to Blee, women bring "a distinctly gendered presence" to political activism and, thus, their involvement in social movements must be addressed if we are to have a complete understanding of radical politics.
		Belief in the superiority of the white race was closely identified with a belief in traditional gender roles, for racists contended that white women's willingness to bear children was crucial to racial survival.
		Women in racist organizations, however, often held views in opposition to movement leadership, and Blee argues that their commitment to racist ideology may have been superficial.

	The Women's Liberation Movement of the 1960s
		Nevertheless, given the numerous obstacles put in place to stop women from changing their status in society, the women’s movement of the 1960s made significant changes for women in regards to basic rights, in the home and in the workplace for the better.
		For example, women fought for their rights not to symbolize “beauty objects” or “sex objects.” In 1968, 100 women protested the Miss America Beauty Pageant because it promoted “physical attractiveness and charm as the primary measures of a woman’s worth,” especially the swimsuit portion of the contest (Echols 149).
		One major setback that women faced in the 1960s was that as men realized what women were trying to do, some did as much as they could to keep fully qualified women out of their workplaces.

	Alas, a blog » Blog Archive » Why Alas Needs Radical Feminist Woman Only Threads
		What makes radical feminism great is its persistent and unrelenting focus on challenging patriarchy and in particular issues such as violence against women and the silencing of women, but one of the great weaknesses of radical feminism is (which to a degree is also its strength) that it places sexism above all other oppressions.
		What caused problems was when White women had problems with not being able to control dialogue on WOC threads, and other examples where there were “(insert) only” threads and those not included who belong to social groups used to being in control were unable to give up that control or to be excluded from discourse.
		In my opinion, a woman is a radical feminist if she agrees that the world we live in is a male supremacist world, that women in general are subjugated and oppressed by men and male institutions.

	Women's Radical Reconstruction \| Faulkner, Carol
		In this first critical study of female abolitionists and feminists in the freedmen's aid movement, Carol Faulkner describes these women's radical view of former slaves and the nation's responsibility to them.
		Moving beyond the image of the Yankee schoolmarm, Women's Radical Reconstruction demonstrates fully the complex and dynamic part played by Northern women in the design, implementation, and administration of Reconstruction policy.
		The author explores how gender conventions undermined women's efforts, as military personnel and many male reformers saw female reformers as encroaching on their territory, threatening their vision of a wage labor economy, and impeding the economic independence of former slaves.

		In the fall, at the first national gathering of women's groups at the National Conference for New Politics, women demanded 51 percent of all committee seats in the name of minority rights.
		When men refused to meet their demand, the women walked out--signaling the beginning of a critical split between the New Left and the women's movement.
		Women's liberation groups established the first feminist book stores, battered women's shelters, rape crisis centers, and abortion counseling centers.

		The point is not that women and gays stand at the forefront of enlightened and intelligent responses to radical Islamists.
		Women and gays are as confused about radical Islam as most people in the West.
		But to write an entire op-ed in the LA Times that singles out "women and gays" as the main culprits in coddling radical Islam - and to call it "one of the greatest paradoxes of our time" - is downright bizarre.

	H-Net Review: Marilyn A. Levine on Engendering The Chinese Revolution: Radical Women, Communist ...
		Third, the womens' struggle is placed in the context of the United Front between the CCP and the GMD, whereby women had a wider organizational heritage and basis to mobilize women, especially in Guangdong.
		Finally, the real fruition of a womens' movement that was part of, not apart from, the national revolutionary movement came in Wuhan, when women were accorded genuine legal and social rights that were not paralleled until after 1949.
		I think Gilmartin is arguing that the latter was the case--that Chinese women were more empowered, at least for a few years, in the actual activities of the women in mobilizing during the mass movements of the early 1920s.

	Elizabeth Debold: Where Are the Women?
		The rapidly rising tide of a new consciousness swept through the young women of the New Left, lifting the most courageous out of the “sea of misogyny” that characterized even the most progressive politics, opening their eyes and hearts to the radical possibility of true equality between women and men.
		In the forward momentum of that fresh wave of radical feminist consciousness, women were the vehicles for an almost irresistible impulse to reach higher, to break free, to rise up.
		The light of this new consciousness shone on everything in women's lives, from shaving one's legs to the institution of marriage to the workings of industries (including pornography, women's magazines, and fashion) that trained women to walk the narrow path of femininity in high heels.

		Women have reported that the CPCs lied to them about the results of the pregnancy test (telling them they weren't pregnant) so that they would miss the window of time during which they could safely obtain an abortion.
		Alert readers will note that Crisis Pregnancy.com, for example, purports to support pregnant women choosing adoption (instead of abortion, which is never mentioned), but actually tries to encourage women to "bond" with "their" baby after it is born.
		Women from Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Palestine raised awareness of the status of ordinary women, the main challenges they face, and ways that women can support one another in struggles against all forms of imperialism, colonialism, and patriarchy.
