Women's Liberation Front

The Women's Liberation Front has published Volume One Number One of its manifesto.

The front, which was affiliated to the Association in May, says the general aims of the organisation arc the promotion of women's rights (equal pay for equal work) and the re-evaluation of women's role in society.

In her introduction, Front President Therese O'Connell says: "We cannot, in all conscience, allow the exploitation of women to continue."

In an article in the magazine Pamela McKenzie, a member of the Front, decries the present position of women in society, pointing out that four times more females than males are treated for severe depression in New Zealand psychiatric institutions.

Miss McKenzie says of the front that "We seek to create a society in which it is impossible for one group to oppress another, we seek an end to the programming of people for rigidly stereotyped sex roles, an end to male supremacy..."

The club has about 25 members, all of them females. Males are welcome at meetings but have neither speaking nor voting rights.
