Sound recordings, transcripts, and release forms of interviews conducted by Strobel with other former members of the Chicago Women's Liberation Union, which was formed in 1969 as a radical, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, feminist organization. Usually interviewees tell how they became involved in the women's movement and in the CWLU. Specific topics relate to the CWLU, its founding, its activities, and its breakup; to the women's movement in general and to socialist feminism; to gender orientation, child care, women's health care, reproductive rights and abortion, and women's legal rights, economic and workplace rights, including efforts to pass the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. A few contemporary publications on women's issues are included in the collection. Interviews were made while Margaret Strobel was a professor and Director of the Women's Studies Program at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
