A selection of badges dating from the 1970s – 80s, from the Feminist Archive North Collections. In the days before the internet, badges and postcards were useful ways to spread the word, being cheap to produce and easily shared. This collection highlights the breadth of the Women’s Liberation Movement’s activism, from reproductive rights and peace campaigning to fighting misogynistic advertising and demanding equal rights. Many of these issues remain relevant and familiar today.
