Women's Social And Political Coalition
History : The Women's Social and Political Coalition (WSPC), named after the British women's suffrage movement from the early twentieth century, was launched at the YWCA in March 1985. The WSPC aimed to provide socialist feminists with an organisation around which to politicise issues such as the Women's Log of Claims and taxation reform. In conjunction with Women's Education and Employment Victoria and the Council for Equal Pay, the WSPC received funding from the Women's Trust to build up country women's networks around Victoria. WSPC held regular meetings and published a newsletter until it disbanded in May 1988. This collection is No.75 of the Victorian Women's Liberation and Lesbian Feminist Archive
