Man Vrouw Maatschappij


Man Vrouw Maatschappij was a Dutch feminist action group, founded by Joke Smit en Hedy d'Ancona.
The group was founded by Joke Smit in October 1968; she had published the feminist article "Het onbehagen bij de vrouw" in November 1967. After Dolle Mina, another feminist group, was founded it sailed a more radical course and participated in feminist actions, most notably 1970's Op de vrouw af!. MVM was anti-hierarchical and opposed to patriarchy; it was run without a president and after 1973 disallowed men, causing d'Ancona and others to leave the group.
