New York Radical Feminists (NYRF)

”New York Radical Feminists (NYRF) was a radical feminist group founded by Shulamith Firestone and Anne Koedt in 1969 after they had left Redstockings and The Feminists, respectively. Central to NYRF's philosophy was the idea that men consciously maintained power over women in order to strengthen their egos, but also held that women internalized their subordination by diminishing their egos. Shulamith Firestone and Anne Koedt left NYRF in 1970, but the group continued to be active through the mid-1970s. Its activities during that time included holding monthly consciousness raising meetings, publishing a regular newsletter, and maintaining a speaker's bureau. NYRF also organized a number of public conferences and speak-outs through the early to mid-1970s on topics such as rape, sexual abuse, prostitution, marriage, lesbianism, motherhood, illegitimacy, class, and work.”
