Quick overview Part memoir, part documentary written by a founding member of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement (IWLM)
€15.13

Feminism Backwards is part memoir, part documentary. A founding member of
the Irish Women's Liberation Movement (IWLM) Rosita Sweetman here gleefully
recalls the triumphs - and the tribulations - of trying to drag a reluctant Ireland
into the 20th Century, crucially, re-appraising Chains or Change the IWLM's
famous pamphlet, detailing what life was like for women in 1970s Ireland - appalling.



Feminism Backwards is also a howl of despair at how women have been treated
worldwide down through the centuries, and how misogyny and sexual
repression got such a stranglehold on Ireland.
Having a survived a marriage break up Rosita re-found her feminism
sadly buried, along with her chutzpah. She passionately believes feminism is not
about blaming men, or pushing a few women to the top so they can be 'she-men'
for the patriarchy. It's about creating a world fit for everyone.
