New York Radical Women

New York Radical Women was an influential feminist group active in the late 1960s that aimed to challenge sexism and advocate for women’s rights through direct action and protest. They organized public demonstrations, such as the 1968 Miss America protest, to highlight issues like gender inequality, objectification, and societal expectations placed on women. The group emphasized consciousness-raising, encouraging women to discuss their experiences and collectively advocate for social change. Their activism helped inspire broader feminist movements and contributed to the evolving conversation on women’s rights during that era.
