Summary:
The text is the first presentation of the Redstockings’ political ideas, published shortly after the first action, which was covered closely in the media. Originating in The New Left and especially inspired by black Americans’ fight against racism and Dutch Dolla Minna’s direct activism, the Redstockings rejected the first feminist wave’s concept of “un-political” equality.
As integrated aspects of capitalism, gender roles could only be removed with a new socialist society.
