ABOUT THE WEB BOOK
This free-to-access web book is part of a joint print and online publication that challenges thinking about 'seventies feminism'. You might find it useful to start with the Preface before moving on to read or listen to the other pieces.
Let us know what you think of this book, both content and format. This is our first web book: is this kind of web publishing a good idea?

The Feminist Seventies Web Book
This is one of the publications that came out of the Feminist Seventies conference, held in York, England in April 2002. The original version of this book was published in 2003. In early 2006 the web site and files were lost, and this is a re-constituted version, or 2nd edition, of the book, published in April 2006. All of the written text was saved, thanks to the Wayback Machine service. However, the short sound extracts of the conference plenaries were lost. We have therefore added links to the corrresponding conference abstracts and to articles published in print form.
