Throughout the mid-20th century, groups of women around the world were fighting for change.

These demands were read out at the first ever National Women’s Conference in 1970. We spoke to Juliet Mitchell, one of the organisers of the conference, to hear what it was like to be part of a pivotal moment of women’s history.
