- Title
The Universal Childcare Debate: Rights Mobilization, Social Policy, and the Dynamics of Feminist Activism, 1966-1974.
- Authors
DINNER, DEBORAH
- Abstract
The article presents a history of the feminist contributions to a political debate over universal childcare, focusing on the period 1966 to 1974 in the U.S. It discusses the mobilization of women for equal rights, the effects which this had on social policy, and the larger sociocultural implications of such issues. Distinctive aspects of grassroots activism for socioeconomic transformation are contrasted with the more formal and legal approaches to these issues. The latter are said to be less radical and more limited in their aims.
