\nJoin us for a tra nsformative conversation with award-winning journalist and author\, Clara Bingham\, as she chats with us about her new book\, \;The Movement: Ho w Women&rsquo\;s Liberation Transformed America\, 1963-1973. \;
\n< p>The Movement \;is a comprehensive and engaging oral history of the d ecade that defined the feminist movement\, including interviews with livin g icons and unsung heroes. \;The Movement \;is the first oral hist ory of the decade that built the modern feminist movement. Through the cap tivating individual voices of the people who lived it\, \;The Movement \;tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the f orefront of the modern feminist crusade when women rejected thousands of y ears of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed t o be.\nThis engaging history traces women&rsquo\;s awakening\, orga nizing\, and agitating between 1963 and 1973 when a decentralized collecti on of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan&rsquo\;s \;The Feminine Mystique \;to the undergrou nd abortion network the Janes\, to Shirley Chisholm&rsquo\;s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King&rsquo\;s 1973 battle of the sexes\, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that explosion person by person\ , bringing to life the emotions of this personal\, cultural\, and politica l revolution. Artists and politicians\, athletes and lawyers\, Black and w hite\, \;The Movement \;brings readers into the rooms where these women insisted on being treated as first-class citizens and\, in the proce ss\, changed the fabric of American life.
