- Title
MOW to NOW: Black Feminism Resets the Chronology of the Founding of Modern Feminism.
- Authors
GIARDINA, CAROL
- Abstract
The article explores black women and their involvement with the organizing of the 1963 March on Washington (MOW). Particular focus is given to how this was pivotal to the shift of feminist organizing of the 1960s. Many activists are noted including Dorothy Height, Pauli Murray, and Anna Arnold Hedgeman. Facing down powerful male figures of the black church, they established feminist protest models that they subsequently used to inform the establishment of the National Organization for Women in 1966.
