Eight Women [New York Radical Feminists]

[New York]: np, ca. early-1970s. Offset. [28] pp. 10 x 7 in. Slight yapping to wrappers, three small spots of discoloration to rear wrapper; else near fine. Item #10358

A small self-published book of poetry, drawings, contemplations on consciousness raising, and political reflections from a cell of eight militants of the New York Radical Feminists. On the far left wing of the women’s liberation movement, New York Radical Feminists was founded by Shulamith Firestone and Anne Koedt in 1969 and was organized into small cells. This self-published pamphlet was likely produced by one such cell: in the prologue, the authors write: “We did not know one another before our small group was organized through the New York Radical Feminists. After three months of consciousness raising, we had grown and changed enough to produce most of the work in this pamphlet.”

 Scarce book published by rank-and-file members of a radical women’s liberation organization, tracing their journeys to militant consciousness, and illuminating continuities of aesthetic and lexicon between the respective left wings of the New Left and second-wave feminism.
