Assertive, tough, and idealistic, the Weatherwomen-members of the
Weather Underground Organization (WUO) from the late 1960s-were
determined to stamp out sexism and social injustice. They asserted
that militancy was necessary in the pursuit of a socialist
revolution that would produce gender, racial, and class equality.
This book excavates their long buried history and reclaims the
voices of the Weatherwomen. The Weatherwomen's militant feminism
had many facets. It criticized the role of women in the home, was
concerned with the subordination of women to men, attacked the
gender pay gap, and supported female bodily integrity. The
Weatherwomen also refined their own feminist ideology into an
intersectional one that would incorporate multiple identity
perspectives beyond the white, American, middle-class perspective.
In shaping a feminist vision for the WUO, the Weatherwomen dealt
with sexism within their own organization and were dismissed by
some feminist groups of the time as inauthentic. This work strives
to recognize the WUO's militant feminist efforts, and the agency,
autonomy, and empowerment of its female members, by concentrating
on their actions and writings.
