Protests at the Miss World contest in 1970 attracted headlines around the world. This book portrays the new and vibrant women's liberation movement of the 70s. It tells how women protested inside and outside the Albert Hall, who they were, what took them into the women's liberation movement, how they organised, why they were protesting and of women's arrests and trials. Misbehaving gives us the story of the protesters against Miss World Contest in the words of the rebels themselves. Through the wonderful diversity of their personal and political life stories it does something more. By chronicling the influences that led them to take action, it vividly reveals how an extraordinary range of sources contributed to the emergence of a movement for Women's Liberation.
