Free 24-hour community-run daycare; abortions on demand; wages for domestic work was the radical demand of the early women's liberation movement. The book Dear Sisters: Dispatches from the Women's Liberation Movement contains a collection of broadsides, cartoons, posters, songs and other writings from the early years of the women's movement (1967-1977) that convey the energy and intense spirit of the movement that it dramatically altered American society. Editors Rosalyn Baxandall and Linda Gordon have done an incredible job establishing the roots and depth of the second wave feminist movement. By gathering all the materials, which were once scattered among private collections, university archives and out-of-print anthologies and magazines, into a single volume, the curators demonstrate a diverse movement. It reminded me of how far we have come not so long ago: domestic violence against women was kept under control, abortions were performed in the shadows, pregnancy and childbirth were considered diseases and girls had limited opportunities to participate in sports and sporting activities. education defines what women's liberation embodies. Women's liberation was just that, freeing women from all these social and political restrictions on their lives. The ideal of the ¡°feminine mystic¡± applies only to a certain class of women, a stay-at-home mother who is also a sexy wife who meets her husband's every need. This ideal has excluded many women and failed to achieve it. Even when this ideal was achieved, many remained dissatisfied. Women were then able to gather... middle of paper... in schools. Feminism has changed the way women look at themselves and what is considered feminine. Lesbian and gay couples can show affection in public places without being ostracized. Today we all see female doctors without a doubt. I believe women have come a long way thanks to the women's liberation movement. However, I believe we still need to maintain the anger and energy. There are still no community nurseries, the ideal of the family still exists and harsh and unrealistic maternity leave is still in force. We must keep the movement alive to achieve its goals, with new goals in mind. Our society needs these changes and I believe that with each new generation we will hopefully achieve everything we set out to do. Women have the power to improve their lives and only together we can achieve anything.
