The Rise and Influence of Feminist Collectives in History
Feminist collectives gained prominence in the 1970s and 80s as part of the women's liberation movement. Women from anti-war and anti-establishment backgrounds shifted their focus to women's liberation, forming groups with names like Spare Rib, The Red Rag, and Red Stockings. These collectives operated non-hierarchically, promoting cooperation over competition and equitable contributions from all members. The success of these collectives inspired present-day models like the WLRN Staff Collective, emphasizing community-building in the face of male dominance across various societal sectors.
