National Women's Liberation Gainesville Chapter
National Women’s Liberation (NWL) is a feminist group for women who want to fight back
against male supremacy and win more freedom for women. We believe that
change comes about from the actions of everyday people—not politicians,
the courts, lobbyists, or the media. The freedoms we have now were won
by movements of women, organizing and fighting for change. Men did not
become less sexist or decide to give women the vote or legalize birth
control because of our individual abilities to reason with them, educate
them, or because they love us so much. The inequalities between women
and men are political problems that require a collective solution.
The leadership and
participation of women of color is critical to the success of the
women’s liberation movement; National Women's Liberation addresses
struggles particular to women of color and racism within the feminist
movement through our Women of Color Caucus.
NWL has chapters in New York City and Gainesville, FL.
