Feminist says women shall overcome
By Sue Brown
Women's needs and yearnings have been suppressed so
long that in the future, women will emerge as the world
leaders, according to a nationally noted socialist feminist.
Clara Fraser, a political organizer and former news
paper editor and columnist spoke to a gathering in the
Nebraska Union during a program sponsored by the
Women's Resource Center.
Fraser said that presently, women compose the
majority of every single oppressed group and are "three
times as militant and three times as uppity as anyone
else."
The socialist feminist has to answer the question "Re
form or Revolution?" she said. Once an individual decides
to use their special talents and skills for people instead of
against them, there is nowhere to go, but towards re
volution, she added.
According to Fraser, anyone concerned with rights and
issues as gut-level concerns must examine the question of
capitalism and socialsim.
"Does anyone really think that American capitalism is
going to free the world and everyone in it?" she asked.
"We are revolutionists. We hate American superiority,"
said Fraser who describes herself as a "red diaper baby."
She was taught about revolution at her father s knees and
has done the same with her children.
If a movement is not made up of the oppressed, a
movement will never get off the ground, she said. The
movement must be composed of minority women,
lesbians and working women, she added.
The social feminist does not want to be isolated or put
into categories, she said.
The feminist movement was getting "pretty disguist
ing" before the "new wave" of socialist feminism hit,
she said, but she believes that the movement is moving at
a tremendous pace now.
The biggest problem that slows up any movement is
the lack of self-confidence and self-belief, she said.
Revolutionary social feminism is a very logical, histor
ical, natural, theoretical and personal movement which
combines and synthesizes what is best for human beings,
she said.
"We have to fight like hell to keep from going back
wards at an accelerated pace," she said, adding that
evolution becomes revolution.
Socialist newspapers, pamphlets and other literature
were available at the conclusion of the program.
