Chandan Fraser was 20 years old when she attended the UK’s first Women’s Liberation Conference at Oxford in February-March 1970. This was a landmark event in the genesis of second wave feminism in Britain. 600 women and a few men – a much greater attendance than expected – crowded into Ruskin College at Oxford for three days of debate and discussion. For many of those who attended, it was an exhilarating, indeed a life-changing, moment.
The New Left is difficult to pin down. Its point of origin is clear, amid the profound political crises of 1956, but the movement was never defined by party or organisation and so its boundaries are imprecise. It was born out of a deep disillusion with communism and the horrors perpetrated by Stalin, and by an impatience with social democracy and particularly with the British Labour Party’s support for American foreign policy.
