Artifact Overview
This book is a directory of grassroots resources for women in the 1970s: female-owned bookstores, collectives, women's health, birth control, pay equity, self-defense, crisis support, and single parenting. These types of pre-Internet publications share common ground with today's web--as information clearinghouses, business directories, connecting communities across a large geographic area.

In the 1970s, women's rights activists rallied in support of the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which would guarantee women equal rights with men as part of the United States Constitution. The ERA, first put forward in 1923, finally passed both houses of Congress in 1972 -- but it was not ratified in enough state legislatures for approval.
