Thanks
for your note to FEMINIST.COM.
I'm actually in the midst of
co-writing a book on feminism
(Manifesta: Young Women/Feminism/The
Future) and one of the things
we talk a lot about is both
the historical aspects of consciousness
raising or CR as well as the
need for more of it today. As
for blueprints of how to begin
your organizing--I have three
suggestions:
1.) Third
Wave--a national organization
for young feminists between
the ages of 15 and 30--has how
to kits--which include steps
on how to initiate this type
of organizing.
2.) The afterword to Gloria
Steinem's book Revolution From Within has a "road map" or sorts for organizing.
3.) #2 also mentions the NOW
Guidelines for CR, which you
should be able to attain from
you local NOW and/or from their
National office in Washington,
DC.
If you would like--I can send
you #1 & 2--just send me your
mailing address.
