	Central Europe Review - Czech women's rights movement and higher education
		The peak of the Czechoslovak reform movement, the 1960s, produced a wealth of talent in all spheres, and a fair share of it was represented by women who later formed a part of the small dissident movement.
		The Czech women's rights movement began to develop into a political movement only around the turn of the century, at about the time when the first female graduates stepped out of the university with a fresh diploma in their hand.
		Despite all the advantages and the strong record in their rights movement, Czech women were still only at the beginning of a long march to attain academic and professional equality with men.

	Tony Cliff: Class Struggle and Women's Liberation (11. The women's movement in Britain)
		In Britain, because of the strength of the labour movement, the same tendency towards incorporation into the establishment that pushes the US women’s movement towards NOW, draws the British women’s movement towards the Labour Party.
		As in the United States, the structurelessness of the British women’s movement accelerated its disintegration.
		Fifth, even in terms of structure there is far more in common between the structurelessness and loose federalism of the women’s movement and the bureaucratic swamp of labourism, than between either of them and the democratic centralism of a revolutionary socialist party.

	HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN January 2004 Review Towards a feminism of caste
		How-ever, in her treatment of how the women’s movement has dealt with the issue of sexual violence, there is no mention of the caste aspects of sexual violence, or how dalit women’s sexuality is regarded as being ‘available’ for upper-caste men.
		The formation of caste-based parties, caste groups within trade unions, and now in the women’s movement is largely deplored as divisive even by those on the left who have sympathy with the cause of dalits, in the face of the major perceived threats from globalisation and Hindu fascism.
		Dalit women in India were questioning whether the feminist movement in India had paid suffi-cient attention to the caste basis of women’s oppression and whether the mainly upper-caste women’s movement had any right to speak for dalit women.

		The Movement of the Ordination of Women’s response to the bishops’ reluctance to offer hospitality to women priests was to take the initiative and invite the Rev. Alison Cheek, the first Australian woman to be priested, and the Rev. Helen Havens, a vicar from Houston, Texas, to visit Australia in June and July 1985.
		The aim of the Movement for the Ordination of Women was “to promote the ordination of women in the Anglican Church of Australia as a fundamental part of the ministry of men and women in the Church”.
		She saw the women’s movement as bringing a new energy to the tired old forms of the Church, depicting the Anglican Church as a croquet lawn - “awfully English and Oxford” - with the women’s movement “like a great spring of water gushing up in the middle of that lawn”.

		Conclusion In the end, to be true to the political ideals of the movement, and in the spirit of moving forward, it is imperative that we meet the internal challenges to become a movement relevant to women of all ages and generations.
		The question ‘is the women’s movement “missing in action”?’, as well as the title of the panel ‘Is the women’s movement on the way to extinction?’, are both important, and represented radical starting points for the discussion.
		In reflecting on these questions, some of the women at the workshop felt, that in fact, the movement is in some state of paralysis.

		The Chipko movement is not only an environmental movement, but is a women's movement as well, for it was solely women who saved the Himalayan forests from being exploited by commercial logging companies.
		The women of the Chipko movement were very strong-willed, very creative and extremely empowered to protect the forests even if it meant giving up their husbands and possibly their lives.
		This is yet another success that the women of the Chipko movement achieved, and continue to maintain until the present.

	Welcome to Netiran!
		The intellectual and cultural development of the Iranian women during the Constitutional movement was to some extent because of Iran's assumption of a position in the international relations arena from the early years of Qajar dynasty.
		During the Constitutional movement however when one pauses to examine all the different issues relating to that period thoroughly, one can clearly observe women's valuable influence on the movement through their political, social and cultural activities.
		The role of the Iranian women in the past one hundred years and especially during the constitutional movement is a highly sensitive issue which has found a distinct place in the contemporary research of the history.

	The Women-Church Movement
		The women-church movement is not concerned with membership, growth, structure or institutionalized permanence, nor is it a separatist movement.
		And though the women-church spirit is inclusive, the word "church" in its name leaves out women who espouse other religious traditions; women who practice witchcraft and celebrate goddess rites; women of no particular religion and no desire to join any kind of church; and women who are connected to an inner spirit and live religiously.
		Women-church and traditional church have contrasting understandings of God, grace and world, and of their interrelationship.

	Rh365: Sexuality in Modern India: Critical Concerns
		As a consequence, the Indian women's movement, to the extent that it specifically foregrounds sexuality, has usually concentrated on the question of enforcing laws that would act as a restraint on long sanctioned male privileges over the bodies and lives of women, and this too, primarily as they affect poor or working class women.
		To the extent that sexuality has today gained a more enduring prominence as a subject of political movements or academic discourse, however, it is as a result of growing feminist involvement with the rights of women to their lives and bodies.
		Here, as in other social movements, there was little attempt to rethink sexual relationships, so that male and usually upper caste transgressions were more readily tolerated, while women functioned under the terrible burden of upholding the moral order even in conditions of guerrilla warfare.

	Legacy '98: A Short History of the Movement
		The wording of the ERA was simple: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." To many women's rights activists, its ratification by the required thirty-eight states seemed almost a shoo-in.
		The second wing of the post-suffrage movement was one that had not been explicitly anticipated in the Seneca Falls "Declaration of Sentiments." It was the birth control movement, initiated by a public health nurse, Margaret Sanger, just as the suffrage drive was nearing its victory.
		House meetings, walk-a-thons, door-to-door canvassing, and events of every imaginable kind were held by ordinary women, many of whom had never done anything political in their lives before.

	We/Myi Issue 22 Congress
		In essence the Social Democrats were urging the Russian women's movement to give up its own fight for women's equality and to confine itself to activities within the limits of bourgeois feminism, which meant focusing only on their own class, and carrying on their work only within a party structure.
		The congress had great resonance, for it represented a new vigorous political force, the all-Russian women's movement that was forming around feminist ideas.
		Alexandra Kollontai herself, who prepared a group of women-workers to propagandize at the congress the Marxist conception of "the woman question" and to unmask bourgeois feminism, she too was a daughter of the epoch of Russian liberalism, of the emergence of women's consciousness and self-affirmation.

	Andrew Christopher Davidson -- Africana Library, Cornell University
		This thesis may be used as a starting point to acknowledge the important roles which women have played and hopefully to blaze a path of historical contribution which the women of Rastafari may follow as they move to the forefront of the Rastafari movement.
		Failing to affirm the historical contributions which women have made towards the Rastafari movement has hindered the movement from moving proactively to address issues relating to the subordination of women.
		Despite the contributions which women have made within the historical antecedents of the Rastafari movement, women within Rastafari have often been relegated to a subordinate and inferior status justified by Biblical interpretations.

	WWN: Women's Art Movement
		The women’s art movement has championed the idea that gender is socially and not naturally constructed; validated non-"high art" forms such as craft, video and performance art; questioned the cult of "genius" and "greatness;" and placed an emphasis on pluralist variety rather than concepts of totalizing universalism.
		As with the women’s movement in general, white women originally dominated the women’s art movement, however women of color and lesbian and bisexual artists were present and influential from the beginning.
		Exploring the kind of art women make when creating from their own life experiences led to a call for a re-examination of the criteria that defined what art and which artists were to be valued.
