Communicating a Radical Vision Module and Readings

The CWLU: Communicating a Radical Vision Before the Internet and Social Media is designed for use with a course on women's studies, feminist political theory, or social movements. It asks how the CWLU communicated its radically new ideas. This module describes the CWLU’s Liberation School for Women, its outreach newspaper WOMANKIND, and its Speaker’s Bureau, essential communications tools prior to the existence of e-mail, web sites, and social media.
