Protests at the Miss World contest in 1970 attracted headlines around the world. This book portrays the new and vibrant women’s liberation movement of the 70s. It tells how women protested inside and outside the Albert Hall, who they were, what took them into the women’s liberation movement, how they organised, why they were protesting and of women’s arrests and trials. 

This book has over 80 original photos and illustrations, in b/w and colour Endorsements: it was the first thing that really turned me on to feminism, so moving and exciting, and of course, I never looked back. Lynne Segal
