Independent Socialist Clubs Women's Caucus Internal Documents, 1969
Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Consists of three internal documents, including meeting minutes, reports, and a position essay, from the Women's Caucus of the Independent Socialist Clubs (ISC) in New York. These documents provide insight into the group's structure, its place within second-wave feminism, and a Trotskyist perspective on the women's liberation movement as related to class and economics. One document titled "Reports from Womens Lib Arenas, May 1969" includes reports by ISC members who attended New York Women's Liberation Movement (formerly New York Radical Women) and West Side W.I.T.C.H. meetings. There is also an essay by Margo Machida titled "The Woman Question," which provides a self-critique of the group.
