Hi Severn,
>my apologies
I will be clearer next time:-)
One of the big problems in the UK in the 70's and early to mid 80's was
that, at Universities and Colleges Feminism was surviving well within an
infrastructure, but not getting its message successfully across in poor
council estate areas such as where I lived when I was younger. It was
considered as something that was middle class women a practice for the
privileged and well off, and working class women just had to carry on
surviving and working on low wages.
What is also interesting is that, my sisters have a much better life
than my mother did as in better working conditions etc, yet are less
likely to even think about Feminism and how what they have now was
thought for them originally. In a consumer culture such as what we are
all engulfed in there really needs to be a radical update of feminism,
and I don't mean the kind of lifestyle magazine'ish, media friendly term
of 'Post-Feminism', it needs to be as approachable as consumerism and
offer civil liberties that communicate across all classes and race.
Any ideas?
