The 40th anniversary
On February 27 1970, around 500 women came together for the first UK Women's Liberation Conference which was held at Ruskin College in Oxford . The conference is widely seen as a pivotal moment in the growth of the Women’s Liberation Movement and it produced four key demands including equal pay, equal education and job opportunities, free contraception and abortion on demand, and 24-hour nurseries. Now special conferences are being held to celebrate the 40th anniversary.
