What is most likely the first manifesto of the Dutch anarcho-feminist group Dolle Mina, active in the Netherlands and Belgium in the 1970s. Dolle Mina was immediately famous in 1970 when it began a campaign of public interventions to address women's issues of unequal pay, birth control, abortion, childcare, education, etc. Their protests were bold and humorous: an early action on the Dam against the lack of women's public toilets involved pink ribbons and temporary sheds where Dolle Mina members sat on ersatz toilets. They responded to a papal encyclical against contraception with a parade where they dressed as sperm and were well-known for the witty and strong slogans of their pamphlets, posters, and campaigns. Marginal illustrations in this example reproduce comical sketches of a penis chased by a uterus. *OCLC* locates two copies, none in North America.
