The people began talking a lot about Women's Liberation. _21_ first I did not take it seriously. I thought that the women in the movement were just unhappy and bitter. I had the _22_ that they hated men, whereas I myself had nothing against men at all. However, I was encouraged by a friend to attend a meeting in North London. There were Women's Liberation groups in each area of London, _23_ in size and in their particular interests. The group I attended was started by a few of middle-class intellectual women who wanted to get the support of working-class housewives in the area. However, _24_ I turned up at the meeting I found that the other women were all the middle-class graduates, a few with several degrees. Some of the girls were very intellectual and articulate, and had even published books or appeared on TV. I have been _25_ the group for several years now and we have had some interesting discussions about the issues the Women's Liberation Movement is concerned with.
