The Movement's Oral History Approach

The book, 'The Movement', utilizes the oral history format to capture the voices of women who were pivotal in the women’s liberation movement between 1963 and 1973. Author Clara Bingham conducts interviews with participants, providing a unique and personal perspective on this transformative decade. By incorporating archival footage and documents, she creates a narrative that not only tells the stories of these women but also makes the historical context more accessible and relatable. This approach emphasizes the significance of first-person accounts, which allows readers to engage deeply with the experiences of the women who fought for their rights during a critical period in American history.
