Sixty young women applauded “We've organizec the faces nodded encourag a judo and karate club,” said another, and a INDIVIDUAL REGIONAL REPORTS Going around the circle, each liberated woman rose and gave a briet regional report. Two of those present--a California and a black Army wife from Ft. Bragg--were given the attention usually reserved for rare birds The blonde had worked with the Women’s Liberation Front in San Diego, worked on a commune and came to North Car week before the meeting. Her comments concerned the group jealousy prevalent in a number of WLF chapters “Women aren't used to a lot of power,” she said they get it it’s very easy for them to become corrupt.” “and when The Army wite received attention for perhaps a single sutstanding reason: she was the only Black present Her proposal was to begin Women’s Lib groups for military wives, This was in keeping with the WLF axiom that the women most in need of liberation are “high school women and G.i wives.” Other members recorded their progress. A high school “woman” told a breathtaking take of passing Women's Lib literature under the desks in a school headed by “Hitler’s mother.” ‘WOMEN CAN'T HAVE LAST NAMES’ Another claimed to have been in Fayetteville for four months “on an extended week-long vacation.”’ She planned to attend the International Women’s Conference in Montreal. “My name's Marion,” she said, “I don’t have a last name because women ca have last names.” One Charlotte, N.C. female wanted to form a w commune omen’s After the personal accounts were cleared away, the I ayetteville women rose to tell of their urban revolution. They had picketed pornographic films and the Miss July 4 beauty contest. for “exploiting women:” they were protesting unfair waitresses in the area. One young woman rose to demand that employment listings be in alphabetical, not sexual. or Jer Wages for FASCINATING LITERATURE The meeting broke for lunch. So far it had resembled nothing more radical than a huge dorm meeting. More correctly, it resembled a board conference for 4 company that did a great deal of speaking, a great deal of organizing, and very little of anything else During the break, we of the Fountainhead mingled, argued and puttered around the information table. The pamphlet titles were far too fascinating to pass up: “The Myth of Women’s Inferiority,” “The High School Woman and D tings’ “High School Sex(ist) Education,” “The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm.” We collected sheaves of free literature and wandered off to grill the Liberationists ‘A MATTER OF CONDITIONING’ Individually, the Lib members made a few. intelligent observations. They were very young and very idealistic; most spoke with a generous number of gestures and sweeping arm motions. One member in particular seemed to Possess more sanity than the rest-Margie Segal, the previously-mentioned Chapel Hill instructor. Miss Segal advocated a more personal liberation; her reason for participating in the movement was to provide more freedom for women in the field of Political Science “I'm working for my department,” she said This was a marked contrast to those evangelists who stated that there was no “real” difference between the sexes--“‘It’s all a matter of conditioning.” Another of the more realistic members stated the reasons for the Women’s Liberation movement “As women,” she explained, “we can’t say ‘stop fighting’-we aren't drafted. We can’t say ‘help the Blacks’--we aren't all black Our only power lies in the fact that we're women. We have to work through that.” "ASK THE MEN’ A fairly typical incident occured shortly before the second half of the conference. The Fayetteville Lib members had been taping parts of the meeting on a portable tape recorder Suddenly one of the girls ran across the room t the group's unofficial spokeswoman The girl was upset. “The tape ran out,” she said. ‘What are we supposed to do?” The spokeswoman dropped t stacking on a nearby table “As much as I hate to say it,” she said “the only people here who know how to work the damn thing are the men. Go ask them. As if they can’t Keep their fucking male expertise he pile of pamphlets she was themselves We arrived biased.
