"...for a time, at least, men are the enemy and... radical men hold the nearest battle postion," Beverly Jones and Judith Brown (no relation) "Toward a Female Liberation Movement" (1968)
Shulamith Firestone's article linking the new movement to the Women's Rights Movement, 'The Women's Rights Movement in the U.S.: A New View' is in "Notes from the First Year" (1968)--a bold title for a journal, and evidence of a consciousness at the time that something was being started--consciousness Carrol expressed some doubt we can ever have. "Notes from the First Year" and "Toward a Female Liberation Movement" are available in original form from Redstockings Women's Liberation Archives for Action, at www.redstockings.org ... as is Pat Mainardi's "Politics of Housework" (part of the Redstockings First Literature List packet), and the broom's in the hall closet.
