In this powerful memoir Sheila Rowbotham looks back at her life as
a participant in the women's liberation movement, left politics and
the creative radical culture of a decade in which freedom and
equality seemed possible. She reveals the tremendous efforts that
were made to transform attitudes and feelings, as well as daily
life. After addressing the first British Women's Liberation
Conference at Ruskin College, Oxford in 1970, she went on to
encourage night cleaners to unionise, to campaign for nurseries and
abortion rights. She played an influential role in discussions of
socialist feminist ideas and her books and journalism attracted an
international readership. Written with generosity and humour Daring
to Hope recreates grassroots networks, communal houses and squats,
bringing alive a shared impetus to organise collectively and to
love without jealousy or domination. It conveys the shifts
occurring in politics and society through kernels of personal
experience. The result is a book about liberation in the widest
sense.
