New York Radical Women

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New York Radical Women was an early feminist group that existed from 19671969. By 1969, the various ideological tendencies within the group had coalesced into a radical feminist faction and a socialist feminist (or "politico") faction. Tension between the two factions ended up splitting the group in January 1969; the socialist feminists, such as Robin Morgan, left to form Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell (W.I.T.C.H.), while the radical feminists around Shulamith Firestone started Redstockings.

New York Radical Women should not be confused with New York Radical Feminists, another group started by Firestone in 1969 after she split with Redstockings.
