Women's Lib... Can You Dig It? 1968 T-Shirt

The Women's Liberation Movement (WLM) was a political alignment of women and feminist intellectualism that emerged in the late '60s and continued well into the '80s, primarily in the industrialized nations of the Western world. The WLM proposed socio-economic change from the political left, rejected the idea that piecemeal equality, within and according to social class, would eliminate sexual discrimination against women, and fostered the tenets of humanism, especially the respect for human rights of all people. The WLM's fight for greater equality in education, the workplace, personal finance, reproductive rights, and conceptions of the role of women was successful in getting a number of laws passed and making lasting changes to society.
