Living History: Second Wave Feminism in South Carolina

Fri, October 10, 3:45 to 5:15pm, Madison Concourse Hotel, Floor: 2, Conference I

Abstract

This paper will examine the knowledge gleaned from several different members of the Second Wave of the Women’s Movement in South Carolina in the 1970s. It will highlight the importance of oral histories in uncovering important historical events that have been previously overlooked and are at risk of being forgotten forever. Much like the importance of oral histories to the study of the Civil Rights Movement, these interviews will prove to be invaluable in telling the vital stories of these amazing women. Their history will vanish if we do not seek these women out now, before it is too late.
