[PLACEHOLDER TEXT; they'll see the name and location of the site, so you can skip right to a descriptive opening sentence] UNOW’s creation was the product of grassroots feminist activism that drew energy from large-scale trends reshaping social, political, and economic life in the United States during the 1960s and ’70s. Its founders formed part of the broad movement for women’s rights spurred by second-wave feminism. This movement involved a range of individuals and groups, philosophies and goals, strategies and tactics. The National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) was the most prominent organizational force behind second-wave feminism. The new chapter quickly began challenging concrete examples of sex discrimination and women’s inequality in the Princeton area. This sudden burst of activism soon led members of Central New Jersey N.O.W. to establish a feminist childcare center that they hoped would reshape gender and family relations in their own lives and their community. Today’s University NOW Day Nursery is the fruit of that vision.
