'A Trans-Feminist reconceptualization': Transgender Women in the Women's Liberation Movement in Britain, 1970-1989.
Supervisor: Professor Jane Garnett
My research explores the experiences of transgender women in the Women's Liberation Movement in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s. This project aims to further the knowledge of the Women's Liberation Movement in three ways. Firstly, it builds upon transgender history in Britain through a feminist lens. Secondly, it historicises experiences of trans women in the 1970s and 1980s. Lastly, it seeks to integrate the experiences of trans women into feminist history, rejecting the notion that they are incompatible.
