The Movement \;is a comprehen sive and engaging oral history of the decade that defined the feminist mov ement\, including interviews with living icons and unsung heroes. \;The Movement \;is the first oral history of the decade that bui lt the modern feminist movement. Through the captivating individual voices of the people who lived it\, \;The Movement \;tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the m odern feminist crusade when women rejected thousands of years of custom an d demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be.

\n

Thi s engaging history traces women&rsquo\;s awakening\, organizing\, and agit ating between 1963 and 1973 when a decentralized collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan&rs quo\;s \; The Feminine Mystique \;to the underground abortion netwo rk the Janes\, to Shirley Chisholm&rsquo\;s presidential campaign and Bill ie Jean King&rsquo\;s 1973 battle of the sexes\, Bingham artfully weaves t ogether the fragments of that explosion person by person\, bringing to lif e the emotions of this personal\, cultural\, and political revolution. Art ists and politicians\, athletes and lawyers\, Black and white\, \; The Movement \;brings readers into the rooms where these women in sisted on being treated as first-class citizens and\, in the process\, cha nged the fabric of American life.
