the six-point group

Six Point Group

The Six Point Group was a British feminist campaign group founded by Lady Rhondda in 1921 to press for changes in the law of the United Kingdom in six areas.


The six original specific aims were:

Satisfactory legislation on child assault;
Satisfactory legislation for the widowed mother;
Satisfactory legislation for the unmarried mother and her child;
Equal rights of guardianship for married parents;
Equal pay for teachers
Equal opportunities for men and women in the civil service.

These later evolved into six general points of equality for women: political, occupational, moral, social, economic and legal.
