The ART OF WAKING UP Into Second-Wave Feminism, by Anne Andersson, April 2, 2025
—“That post is AWESOME. In the true definition of the word, as well as the amazing and cool connotation it has taken in later years. It was fun to read (and learn) your story! Superb!” —C.A.
—Conversation: B.M. & A.A.
—B.M.: “Anne, very informative article. Hard to believe you saved all the pictures, newspaper articles and other material from so long ago.
I guess it was worth it.”
—A.A.: “Thanks so much…! So glad you felt that the post was informative. Love that!!
Yes, it was worth it to save the material from that time on Long Island in Huntington.
When we asked for help from a woman in NYC who had done a conference like we wanted to do, she came all the way out to us and she had the brochure from the conference they had done. I was so surprised that she still had it.
She, or someone, told us to document all our efforts. So I saved a page or two of all our work.
When I put this post together, I surprised myself about how much we had done!”
—B.M.: “Yes the article was very interesting.”
—”I finally had a chance to get to CWED. I learned a lot about your work fighting the good Feminist fight on Long Island during the 70s. Well done! How’d we get from Feminism to Moms for Liberty? There’s an idea for a blog.” —J.P.

FOR A COMMENT: Let us know if we may include your full name, first name only, or just your initials.
We have planned this series to explore two movements—the Women’s Movement and the Environmental Movement—as they exist, and are linked, in a patriarchal world.
We have revised our publishing schedule for this series to one post every week for the next few months.
