To celebrate International Women’s Day and 50 years of feminist group Ealing’s Women’s Liberation, the University of West London’s Gabriela Loureiro sat down with key member of the group Professor Ann Oakley. Oakley, an academic and author of Sex, Gender and Society (1972) and The Sociology of Housework (1974) spoke about the history of the group, its attempts to build a feminist community, and what lessons feminism can take from the past, into the future. She also opened her archives from the time to explore the formation of two groups in the borough in the 1970s, and look back on how members went about organising meetings, and general self-help health care in the community.
