The Feminists, initially known as the October 17th Movement, were a New York City-based second-wave radical feminist group. Founded by Ti-Grace Atkinson in 1968, the group took extreme positions against marriage, sex, and pregnancy, advocating for celibacy and political lesbianism in its later years. Atkinson left the group in 1971, and The Feminists disbanded in 1973.
The Feminists Collection contains 15 publications by the group, consisting of a literature list and 14 papers. The papers cover topics such as the politics of sex, class structure, marriage, and feminist history.
Please note that this collection contains material that some researchers may find objectionable due to racist and sexual content. This material is preserved and retained with the collection for its historic and research value.
The collection is arranged alphabetically. Literature is arranged chronologically by publication date.
