For Peace!

In this section we feature a number of Women’s Liberation Movement publications from the 1970s and 1980s that document the women’s movement expansion into a more explicitly internationalist perspective. These publications highlight women resisting militarisation and occupation globally, with particular focus on the continued British military presence in Ireland and solidarity with the people of Palestine. Publications such as Shrew, Outwrite, Scarlet Women, and Spare Rib demonstrate that discussions of internationalism, critiques of violence and nonviolence, and questions of support for national liberation have long been present within the women’s movement.
