Cell 16, Co-founded by Roxanne Dunbar and Dana Densmore in 1968, included early members Betsy Warrior, and Abby Rockefeller and Jayne West,[1]Cell 16 was a progressive, radical feminist organization active in the United States from 1968 to 1973, known for its program of self-defense training (specifically karate), opposition to violence against women, analyses of relations between men and women in dating culture, politics and the economics of unpaid labor in the home. Cell 16 was sometimes mischaracterized as promotioning 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. [2] [3] The organization had a journal: No More Fun and Games," which exerted a strong influence over the development of the second wave of feminism.[4]
