National Congress of Neighborhood Women

The National Congress of Neighborhood Women (NCNW) was founded in 1974 in Brooklyn, New York as a support network for grassroots women's organizations and community leaders dedicated to empowering, and providing a voice for, poor and working-class women working to improve their communities and their own status in low-income urban and rural areas on local, national, and international levels.

The 62 videos shown below were shot by filmmaker and a founding board member of NCNW, Christine Noschese, to document various activities of NCNW from 1974-1977. Included are conferences, workshops, demonstrations, and footage for the documentary: Working Class Women Change Their World (1977). The final video is footage for Women of the Northside Fight Back a documentary produced by Noschese before the founding of NCNW.
