 nversation with award-winning journalist and author, Clara Bingham, as she
  chats with us about her new book, The Movement: How Women’s Liberation 
 Transformed America, 1963-1973. The Movement is a comprehensive and engag
 ing oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement, includi
 ng interviews with living icons and unsung heroes. The Movement is the fir
 st oral history of the decade that built the modern feminist movement. Thr
 ough the captivating individual voices of the people who lived it, The Mov
 ement tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the fo
 refront of the modern feminist crusade when women rejected thousands of ye
 ars of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to
  be.This engaging history traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agit
 ating between 1963 and 1973 when a decentralized collection of people and 
 events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan’
 s The Feminine Mystique to the underground abortion network the Janes, to 
 Shirley Chisholm’s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King’s 1973 b
 attle of the sexes, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that
  explosion person by person, bringing to life the emotions of this persona
 l, cultural, and political revolution. Artists and politicians, athletes a
 nd lawyers, Black and white, The Movement brings readers into the rooms wh
 ere these women insisted on being treated as first-class citizens and, in 
 the process, changed the fabric of American life.About the Author: Clara B
