"There are creative ways in which ordinary people can put feminist issues
into the mainstream agenda," Kat Banyard, the founder of UK Feminista, the
group organizing the summer school, explains. "Direct action doesn't have to
be illegal. It is really important that people are confident about their
legal right to protest." There appears to be a real appetite for the course,
and about 500 individuals and representatives from small feminist groups
around the country are expected when the summer school opens, on the campus
of Bristol University, on Sept. 15. Ms. Banyard hopes that this enthusiasm
reflects the beginnings of a feminist revival in Britain.
