12-13 March 2010, Ruskin College, Oxford
In 1970, 500 women came together at the
first UK Women's Liberation Conference organized at Ruskin College Oxford. The
conference built on existing feminist and women's activism and formulated the
first four demands of the Women's Liberation Movement. Were you at the
