Description	This study examines the correlates of participation in the women's liberation movement, particularly with regard to self-concept and the marital-power relationship. The data were collected between 1972 and 1974. Respondents were 85 couples married at least two years; the wives were matched on four variables: age, education, number of children, and religion. Thirty-five of the wives had actively participated in organized women's liberation groups for at least six months; 15 women considered themselves feminists, but had not participated; and the remaining 35 were not involved in the women's movement and did not consider themselves feminists. All of the respondents, male and female, filled out a questionnaire covering demographic variables, self-concept variables, and information on the marital relationship, especially the exertion of power in marriage. Each respondent was also interviewed by the researcher concerning his/her attitude toward the women's movement, reasons for participating or not participating (if female), and the effects of the movement on his/her life. The Murray Research Archive holds all original record paper data (paper data have been digitized and are available for access).
