The Fight for Womens Liberation Today

A public meeting to discuss this topic will be held on Thursday 29th November, 2007 in the Victoria Hotel, Patrick St. Cork at 8.00pm.
Speaker, Marnie Holborrow, SWP.

We are told that women are now equal to men and that there's nothing left to fight for. Women's lives were certainly transformed in the 20th century.

But while a minority of women can now command high professional salaries, the majority still earn less than men and carry the responsibility for most work in the home. Meanwhile the commercialization of sexism-"raunch culture"-has reached new hights.

Marnie Holborrow will trace the roots of womens oppression and will show why the way society is organised under capitalism, especially the modern family, continues to leave most ordinary women-and men-losing out.

This is the socialist case for why the fight for womens liberation isn't over and why winning this battle means changing the world.
