Women’S Liberation Movement

The Women's Liberation Movement achieved political success with several issues – but not with childcare. This article addresses the reasons for the success and failure of various WII's, examining the nature of pressure politics, methods of organising, public and private debates before focusing on women's attitudes to the childcare issue. The conclusion drawn here is that the more successful feminist issues' do not challenge gender roles to the same extent as childcare does - which could explain the nonmobilisation of childcare as an issue.

Women’S Liberation Movement

"Stop that frantic interest in the Women's Liberation Movement! Rise, unite, but concentrate on a more important issue such as the political dissensions which afflict your country and tear it into pieces!" This call came from a sociologist who sometimes participated in the editing of IWSA W publications and became exceedingly worried about the spread of terrorism and the menace of complete disruption in Lebanon.
