Cell 16

Cell 16 is a progressive, radical feminist organization active in the United States known for its program of self-defense training (specifically karate), opposition to violence against women, and its analyses of relations between men and women in dating culture, politics and the economics of unpaid labor in the home. Co-founded by Roxanne Dunbar and Dana Densmore in 1968, Cell 16 included early members Betsy Warrior, Abby Rockefeller and Jayne West. Cell 16 was sometimes mischaracterized as promoting celibacy or separatism for its suggestion that women remain autonomous from men's groups and avoid romantic entanglements with either men or women, which would take away time and energy better spent on women's rights. The organization had a journal titled No More Fun and Games, which exerted a strong influence over the development of the second wave of feminism.
