- Abstract
The article tracks the rise of feminism in the Southern States between 1964 and 1973 and notes that the activism was allied to the Civil Rights Movement and the black freedom movement. Topics include the sit-in strike against sexism and sexual harassment by women at the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Atlanta, Georgia in the Spring of 1964 led by Ruby Doris Smith Robinson, how the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) served as a role model for the creation of the National Organization for Women (NOW), the Texas-based Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, and the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC).
