Women's Liberation Center
The Women's Liberation Center (WLC) is a historic building and former organization in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, New York. The organization served as a nexus for second-wave feminism, especially the women's liberation and lesbian feminist movements. The group operated from 1972 to 1987, where it was also known as the Women's Firehouse. The building also has a long history before and after that period. The 1866 structure originally served as a firehouse for the Hook and Ladder Company No. 12. In the mid-1980s the Nontraditional Employment for Women moved into the building, where they continue to provide pre-apprenticeships for women beginning careers with construction labor unions.
