Women SDS members who disrupted Adorno’s lectures pioneered the German women’s movement.

Evidence

When Adorno’s philosophy lecture `An Introduction to Dialectical Thinking’ was disrupted in April 1969, it was rebellious women members of the SDS who were responsible. They had formed a Women’s Council in 1968, and were among the pioneers of the women’s movement. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 669

Categorization

  • XREF: Connects to the Frankfurt School’s broader account of the student revolt’s relation to Critical Theory; the Women’s Council complicates the standard narrative of 1968 as male-led.
  • SHARE: The specific fact that Adorno’s lecture ‘An Introduction to Dialectical Thinking’ was broken up by the SDS Women’s Council is exactly the kind of detail one person interested in 1968 or feminist prehistory would want forwarded.
