- Abstract
The article offers the author's perspectives about the year 1968 as one of the most troubled years in the history of the modern left politics in the U.S. He said that in early September 1968, American feminism emerged in the society manifested by hundred women demonstrators from New York who traveled down to Atlantic City to disrupt the Miss America pageant. In addition, during this period militants kept their distance from the government but due to the effort of women lawyers, feminists won substantial political victories in Congress in the early 1970s.
