ABSTRACT
The coming of television caused a rebirth of feminism. The relationships women had with men when encoded on television exposed to all the fact that women were in the world but not of it. Suddenly, blacks, women, gays, and the youth in the United States and in other Western societies were protesting against how they were treated and were beginning to agitate for change. Television further mobilized support for the movement through news interviews, talk shows, documentaries, and the like, where celebrities sensitive to the danger of being labelled sexists announced their subscription to the goals of the women's liberation movement. Television not only mobilized the blacks, it also mobilized many whites in support of the black revolt. Television also clearly revealed that nonviolence was a tactic of the powerless. Instead of continuing to facilitate improved relations between men and women, between white people and black people, television became an obstacle to social change.
