A brief overview of your interest group (be sure to put its name in bold in the first sentence) and the scope of the article goes here.[1]
The following list of sections should serve as a loose guideline for developing the body of your article. The works cited in references 2-5 are all fake; their purpose is to serve as a formatting model for your own citations.
History
The name, Feminist Majority, comes from a 1986 Gallup public opinion poll in which 56% of women self-identified as feminists. Founder Eleanor Smeal chose this name to raise consciousness that feminists are the majority.
Founding
The Feminist Majority Foundation was founded in 1987. The FMF is a cutting edge organization dedicated to women's equality, reproductive health, and non-violence. The FMF utilizes research and action to empower women economically, socially, and politically. The organization believes that feminists - which encompass all ages and genders - are the majority and must be empowered.
Current objectives and activities
The Foundation's mission is to create innovative, cutting-edge research, educational programs, and strategies to further women's equality and empowerment, to reduce violence toward women, to increase the health and economic well-being of women, and to eliminate discrimination of all kinds.
Organizational structure
This section should describe the group's organizational structure, including its principal leadership positions and their current incumbents.[2]
Achievements
In the late 1980s, the Feminist Majority Foundation produced an award-winning video, Abortion for Survival. The video opens with the performance of a 6-weeks abortion, taking 1 minute 24 seconds. Abortion for Survival reviews the need for abortion worldwide because of the lack of access to affordable contraception and the desire of women to limit their family size or control births. The videotape is awarded the prestigious Cine Golden Eagle award in 1989.
Public perception and controversies
In developing this final section, be especially careful about maintaining a neutral stance and tone. Your aim should be to document the public's perception of your group and/or any controversies in which it is or has been embroiled without weighing in with your own opinion about them.
