National

National Women's Liberation Movement Conference, Manchester (1)

National Women's Liberation Movement Conference, London (2)
Domestic labour debates arise, surrounding the 'problem' of fitting housework into a concept of work and the need to liberate women from -- or as some see it to give just pay for -- work done both inside and outside the home. Debate surrounding the four demands continues, as does discussion on strategy and organisation. The socialist feminist current becomes more organised unto itself with the creation of a manifesto, declaring: "No women's liberation without socialist revolution, No socialist revolution without women's liberation." (Northeast Region Socialist Feminist Groups 1972).
