Women's Liberation Panel Discussion

The exact date of this episode is unknown. We've filled in the date above with a placeholder. What we actually have on record is: 1970-uu-uu.

Eleanor Fischer hosts a panel discussion with four women about the women's liberation movement in the late 1960s and 1970s. The women on the panel are Robin Morgan, poet and author, Sandy North, freelance writer, Diane Schulder, attorney and author, and Anselma dell'Olio, founder and director of the New Feminist Repertory Theater. The program also features comments and opinions of author Anne Bernays, Myrna Lamb, playwright, and Ersa Poston, President of the New York State Civil Service Commission. Ms. Poston's remarks were recorded at the Conference for Women that year. Anne Bernays is the interviewee that does not agree with the tactics of the women's liberation movement. She is sympathetic to feminism, but she does not agree with the strategy.

All of the women discuss the state of women in specific professions at the time, the wage gap between men and women, the status of women in the home, and the reaction of the mainstream directed toward the women's liberation movement.
