Counter-Protests and Political Shifts

This chapter explores the counter-protests against the 1977 Women's Conference, particularly organized by the Women Who Want to Be Women group, which drew significant crowds and highlighted opposition to the feminist movement. It delves into the political ramifications of the event, the formation of a coalition against women's rights initiatives, and reflects on what might have happened had the conference not taken place. Additionally, the chapter includes a personal listener engagement that adds a contemporary touch to the discussion.
