Central Asian woman interviewed by William Mandel

On the previous episode of Soviet Lives, William Mandel interviewed a 16 year-old girl at her home in Samarqand (AZ0355). Her family were friends of a Russian journalist, whom was also an associate of Mandel. The two journalists were invited to the family's home for dinner. While the father, a college teacher, prepared the meal in the kitchen, Mandel interviewed the mother, who is Uzbek by nationality. They discuss their Jewish relatives, co-workers, and neighbors; the relationship between Israel and the Arab countries in the Middle East. The Russian track of the interview is played in the right channel, English translation by Mandel is played in the left channel. The interview is a little less than 17 minutes, after which Mandel fields phone calls from the listening audience.

Charlotte Bunch on the Women's Liberation Movement / Karla Tonella

Karla Tonella interviews feminist theorist and writer Charlotte Bunch, editor of Quest Magazine, a feminist quarterly. Bunch reviews the history of the Women's Liberation movement beginning around 1968 (the birthing year); 1969-1970 (the growing years); 1970s (feminist organization). The chronology of the women's movement presented by Bunch moves from "we exist, we are oppressed" to "why we are oppressed?" to "what are we going to do about it?" Bunch reviews the present state of the Women's Liberation movement and how it must stay in touch with the needs of society at large or else it will die out like other political movements have. Self-contained.
