Geschke: Clara Bingham "The Movement"

Nantucket summer resident Clara Bingham's new book, THE MOVEMENT: How Women’s Liberation Transformed Aerica 1963-1973 (Atria/One Signal; July 30, 2024) is an oral history of the integral decade that launched the modern feminist movement. In it, she assembles the stories and people at the front of the feminist crusade—Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm, RBG, Gloria Steinem, Alice Walker, Billie Jean King, Betty Friedan, the Janes, and much more. It is an important and extensive work- Lynn Sherr calls it an ‘invaluable living history’ and Lesley Stahl says “it’s a joy It’s a for those of us who remember… and for younger people to learn about.”

 Clara has spoken about her past two books at the Athenaeum—Witness to the Revolution (August 2016) and Class Action (summer 2003), and wrote many chapters of THE MOVEMENT in the Atheneum reading room. Thanks for considering Clara for your speakers series- I look forward to being in touch further.
