ABSTRACT

The great mobilization of women began with a vision supported by action. The vision was of a world transformed, of a society in which women occupied a place no longer subordinated and participated fully in all facets of society. A world in which women were revalorized, fully integrated and set free from male domination was a bold notion. This transformative vision could not be achieved without major social changes in all facets of cultural, political and economic life. Such an expansive vision was suggestive of limitless arenas for action.
