In this richly detailed firsthand history of the contemporary
Women's Liberation Movement (WLM), scholar-activist Carol Giardina
argues against the prevalent belief that the movement grew out of
frustrations over the male chauvinism experienced by WLM founders
active in the Black Freedom Movement and the New Left. Instead, she
contends, it was the ideas, resources, and skills that women gained
in these movements that were the new and necessary catalysts for
forging the WLM in the 1960s. Giardina uses a focused study of the
WLM in Florida to tap into the common theory and history shared by
a relatively small band of Women's Liberation founders across the
country. Drawing on a wealth of interviews, autobiographical
essays, organizational records, and published writings, "Freedom
for Women" brings to light information that has been previously
ignored in other secondary accounts about the leadership of African
American women in the movement. It also explores activists' roots
in other movements on the left. Comprehensive, serendipitous, and
carefully formulated, Giardina's work is a vivid portrait of the
people and events that shaped radical feminism.
