A comprehensive and engaging oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement.
Award-winning journalist Clara Bingham is a former Washington, DC correspondent for Newsweek whose work has appeared in Vanity Fair, The Guardian and The Daily Beast. Her previous books include Witness to the Revolution and Women on the Hill.
“Clara Bingham’s The Movement gives us such fascinating personal revelations, the unvarnished views of how the women’s movement got started in the actual voices of the women (and men) who began it all. There is so much insight and explanation here, from the historic Presidential campaign of black Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, to how Title IX got slipped into an education bill to the feuds among the 'purists' versus the pragmatists that sheds light on why women today still have a long way to go to achieve real equality.”
—Maureen Orth, Special Correspondent, Vanity Fair
Clara Bingham’s The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed America 1963-1973 is the first oral history of the decade that built the modern feminist movement.

Through the captivating individual voices of the people who lived it, Bingham tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the modern feminist crusade. She artfully weaves together the fragments of an explosive ten years, bringing to life the emotions of this personal, culture and political revolution—when women insisted on being treated as first class citizens and changed the fabric of American life.
The Movement traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agitating between the years of 1963 and 1973, when a decentralized collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, to the underground abortion network the Janes, to Shirley Chisholm’s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King’s 1973 battle of the sexes, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that explosion person by person, bringing to life the emotions of this personal, cultural, and political revolution. Artists and politicians, athletes and lawyers, Black and white, The Movement brings readers into the rooms where these women insisted on being treated as first class citizens, and in the process, changed the fabric of American life.
