This was where women got together in small groups and used there own experience to explore their role in society, family, law and politics. It empowered women. It enabled women to move forward. At that time a young man studied 'Consiousness Raising' for his Masters' Thesis. I regret that I don't remember his name. But he began Men's Consiousness Raising using the model of the women's groups to see how it could work for men. I was a part of a group that consisted of many different male-female relationships. I was a recent widow just reentering the dating/social scene. There was a married man from a traditional Italian family with clearly defined traditional roles for men and women, a feminist man married to a militant feminist who were trying to define their roles in that context, a man who was recently engaged and a man who was dating. It was a very interesting journey of discovery for all of us. I have lost touch with all the members of the group over the years. However the lessons I learned have stood me in good stead over the years. ~;^]> In the early '70s the Women's Movement gave rise to a phenominum called 'Consiousness
