Passionate Beginnings: Ideological Politics 1969-72
Sue O'Sullivan had a two-year-old child and another due imminently when she went, with others from the Tufnell Park group, to the first women's liberation conference at Ruskin College in 1970. These days she is a member of the Spare Rib collective and teaches women and health classes.
In this article I quote from some of the earliest publications of the London Women's Liberation movement. These include pamphlets and magazines - Hatpies Bizarre, Bird, and the long-running Shrew. The London newsletter, begun in 1969, is now published weekly from A Woman's Place. I have not quoted from internal newsletters and where possible I have tried to check the quotations here with the women concerned.
