“We believe that the time has come to move beyond the abstract argument, discussion, and symposia over the statue and special nature of women which has raged in America in recent years; the time has come to confront, with concrete action, the conditions that now prevent women from enjoying the equality of opportunity and freedom…...which is their right, as individual Americans, and as human beings.” --Statement of Purpose, National Organization for Women, 1966; in Toni Carabillo, Judith Meuli, and June Bundy Csida, Feminist Chronicles, 1953-1993
