Abstract
Professors Gelb and Palley have set out to examine the evolution of the feminist ‘movement’ in the 1960s and 1970s and their emergence as an effective pressure group within the American political system. They refer to the feminist ‘movement’, recognising that there are several components to it, and define ‘feminism’ as ‘a movement seeking to operationalise self determination for women in political, economic, and social roles’.
