Irish Women's Liberation Movement
The Irish Women's Liberation Movement (IWLM) was an alliance of a group of Irish women who were concerned about the sexism within Ireland both socially and legally. They first began after a meeting in Dublin's Bewley's Cafe on Grafton Street in 1970. The group was short-lived, but influential.
== Background ==
In the 1970s in Ireland, women were denied certain rights based on their gender. Women could not keep their jobs for public service or for banks if they got married, they could not sit on a jury, collect children's allowance, get a restraining order, own a family home, refuse marital sex, choose her own official place of domicile or be paid the same wages for the same work as men. Women could also not buy contraceptives.〔 Divorce was illegal and "single mothers, widows and deserted wives faced dire poverty." Homosexuality was also illegal, so lesbians could not express their feelings freely.〔
There were other women-focused groups in Ireland at the time, such as the Irish Housewives' Association and the Irish Countrywomen's Association which worked for change in a more patient, "behind the scenes" way.〔 The members of the IWLM did not seek change through patience, but rather as "activists and lobbyists."
