\nJoin us for a transformative conversation with awa rd-winning journalist and author\, Clara Bingham\, as she chats with us ab out her new book\, \;The Movement: How Women&rsquo\;s Liberation Trans formed America\, 1963-1973. \;
\nThe Movement \;is a compreh ensive and engaging oral history of the decade that defined the feminist m ovement\, including interviews with living icons and unsung heroes. \; The Movement \;is the first oral history of the decade that built 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 modern feminist c rusade when women rejected thousands of years of custom and demanded the f reedom to be who they wanted and needed to be.
\nThis engaging histo ry traces women&rsquo\;s awakening\, organizing\, and agitating between 19 63 and 1973 when a decentralized collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan&rsquo\;s \;The Feminine Mystique \;to the underground abortion network the Janes\, t o Shirley Chisholm&rsquo\;s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King&rsq uo\;s 1973 battle of the sexes\, Bingham artfully weaves together the frag ments of that explosion person by person\, bringing to life the emotions o f this personal\, cultural\, and political revolution. Artists and politic ians\, athletes and lawyers\, Black and white\, \;The Movement \;b rings readers into the rooms where these women insisted on being treated a s first-class citizens and\, in the process\, changed the fabric of Americ an life.
