Radical
feminism basically means going
to the root of sexism. That
is uprooting the patriarchy
that perpetuates a sexist society
rather than applying short term
solutions. Historically, this
brand of feminism has held men
directly accountable for women's
oppression. Also, historically,
in 1967 radical feminists in
the United States officially
launched the Women's Liberation
Movement, which remained active
in the US until the early seventies.
They started Consciousness Raising
groups across the United States,
hosted sit-ins and other protests
and generally speaking sparked
an entire movement that continues
today. Is that enough? Let me
know if you need more. Or you
can also read more in Daring
To Be Bad - a book that
chronicles the radical feminist
movement.
