Talk: Shelia Rowbotham: Daring to Hope. A personal history of the politics of the 1970s, 08.01.2022, virtual space

Socialist History Society (SHS) (Web)
Time: 08.01.2022, 3pm
Venue: virtual space, via UK
The Socialist History Society (SHS) is pleased to announce that their first talk of 2022 will be with historian Sheila Rowbotham who will discuss her involvement in the women’s liberation movement, left-wing politics and the “alternative” culture of the 1970s.
This talk will cover episodes examined in Sheila Rowbotham’s recently published memoir, Daring to Hope, such as the first Women’s Liberation Conference at Ruskin College, in 1970, which she helped to initiate, her campaigning to help unionise night cleaners, for childcare and abortion rights.
During this decade, Sheila Rowbotham was influential in the development of socialist feminist ideas producing a series of landmark socialist-feminist books, such as Women, Resistance and Revolution, Woman’s Consciousness, Man’s World and Hidden from History: 300 years of Women’s Oppression and the Fight Against It. Sheila Rowbotham also co-authored Beyond the Fragments: Feminism and the Making of Socialism, with Lynne Segal and Hilary Wainwright.
In Daring to Hope Rowbotham demonstrates her profound awareness that the “personal is political” as she reflects on grassroots activism, communal living, collective organisation and the interconnections between personal liberation and wider political struggles.
The talk will be followed by a discussion.
It is free to all, but you must register in advance (Link).
Note: The event’s website indicates its start at 2pm. This is London time.
