A quick hit for the british readers:
BBC (radio) is currently runing a seris on the history of feminism:
Historian Bettany Hughes presents the first in a series of three discussions tracing the development of feminist ideas from the 1960s onwards.A panel of guests explore the issues which motivated women to join together under the banner of feminism. While activists pursued campaigns involving street protests and fighting through the courts, other women were alienated by their arguments. Both feminists and non-feminists join Bettany to recall key events.
If you're a stranger to this ancient form of communication (radio) you can also catch this on BBC I-player (only availiable in the UK I'm told) - here.
I'm listening to it as I type - perhaps as it progresses it will inspire future posts... bra burning... interesting...

It will be very interesting to read the development of feminist ideas from the 1960s onwards. Great job. Thanks a lot.
I'm listening to it right now and I LOVE it! Thanks for posting. Post the second and third if you get a chance, yes?
