Description
Sheila Rowbotham's memoir Daring to Hope is a powerful and humorous account of her life in the 1970s, a decade that saw freedom and equality seem within reach. As a participant in the women's liberation movement, she recounts the efforts made to transform attitudes and daily life, from addressing the first British Women's Liberation Conference to campaigning for nurseries and abortion rights. Through her experiences, Rowbotham brings to life the grassroots networks, communal houses, and squats that defined this era of collective organising. Her book conveys the shifts occurring in politics and society through kernels of personal experience, offering a unique perspective on liberation in all its forms. Written with generosity and humour, Daring to Hope recreates a shared impetus to love without jealousy or domination, shedding light on the complexities of a decade that was both hopeful and transformative.
