KPFA American Women recordings Series 1
Bulk 1963-1982,
Inclusive 1944-1994
Physical Description: 652 Reels
Scope and Contents
KPFA was the first of the five Pacifica stations established by the Pacifica Radio Foundation, and began broadcasting from
Berkeley, California in 1949. This series contains recordings broadcast on KPFA between the years 1963 and 1982 related to
women and the Women’s Movement. One highlight of this series is the “Consciousness Raising” series, produced by Jan Legnitto
(BC1087.01-.04). The series was broadcast on KPFA approximately every other Wednesday at 12:30PM between June 21 and October
18, 1972, and was introduced in the June 1972 KPFA folio: "We're starting an important new series with on-the-air Consciousness-Raising
(“CR”)...CR groups are central to the Women's Movement, but many women are unable to join because of isolation of one sort
or another. We hope to partially overcome this by broadcasting a CR group, and then establishing a dialogue through listener
call-ins. This way, women at home can share in the experience, and, hopefully, the benefits." The folio gives further background
on CR groups and why they work (see folio here: https://archive.org/stream/kpfafoliojun72paci#page/10/mode/2up).
KPFA featured several series centered on women and women’s issues, including: “The American Women” (1958-1959), “Women” produced
by Kay Lindsey (1968-1969), “Focus on Women Composers” (1976-1977), “The Majority Report” (1982-1987?), and a number of recordings
produced by the “Unlearning to Not Speak Collective,” a group of feminist broadcasters at KPFA (1973-1975).

A lady doesn't take karate / moderated by Lois Hansen. 12329_P01

Scope and Contents
Eight Bay Area feminists talk about learning karate, both in traditional schools and in the newer, women-only self-defense
classes, the physical and mental challenges of karate, the need to defend themselves and their changing images of themselves.
The women come from a range of backgrounds (some of them are young, some older, some gay, others living with men), but all
feel that a woman who intends to go about day and night as a free person had better learn to defend herself. It's a joyful
conversation for the most part, as women discover that their bodies can become an extension of their will and personality
instead of just something for men to whistle at. Moderated by Lois Hansen. Listener phone calls included.

and was married to two famous husbands: Lincoln Steffens and Donald Ogden Stewart. Her travels and observations about the
Soviet Union and China are given here and in her autobiography, "And Not to Yield." Winter tells Thompson that "the pristine
purity of revolutions" soon withers away, and the state with its bureaucratic complex necessary to a planned economy, contrary
to Marxist dogma, is reinforced. Humans, with the keen edge of starvation withdrawn and enjoying an unaccustomed quantity
of consumer goods and gadgets, revert to an anti-social state of mind which is a problem common to the USA as well as the
socialist countries.

KPFA, July 23, 1979
Scope and Contents
Docu-drama about Annie Besant's and Margaret Sanger's fight to make methods of birth control available to the public. Prior
to the middle of this century, methods of birth control were virtually unknown and information concerning contraception was
considered obscene and kept from the large majority of the public. In this program we examine the efforts to bring this information
to light and we discuss the lives and works of the women who made this possible. Parts of this program were particularly relevant
in light of the struggle for abortion rights raging in the late 1970s. "My Fight For Birth Control" by Margaret Sanger was
adapted for radio by Joanna Brouk. Annie Besant was dramatized by Wanda McCaddon. Margaret Sanger was performed by Joan Davis.

If you ask any school kid what prehistoric society was like, you're sure to hear about cave men, cudgels and pulling women

women, not to mention that of she-apes, in determining the direction of pre-historic human development. Elaine Morgan, a Welsh
laywoman and author of the book "The Descent of Women" (published in May) which questions the interpretations male archeologists
have given to rather sketchy data and proposes what Ms. Morgan feels are more logical theories concerning the prehistoric
development and the present state of humanity. The interviewers are Lois Hansen and Julia Curtis of KPFA.

to work as laborers on the side before the Soviets came. Two children died essentially of starvation, one of hardship-caused
illness. Interview portion contains Russian spoken in low volume in right channel, Mandel's English translation in left channel.

23, my mother was 52) My housemates loved her: the hip lesbian mom, happily eating our vegetarian meals and sharing our feminist
vision. She agreed to my interviewing her at the KPFA studios." See more about Chana and Gloria Wilson here: http://www.ridingfuryhomebook.com/

Women-loving poems by poet Judy Grahn (1940 - ), including She Who and The Common Women series. Also Edward the Dyke, a short
story based on real experiences, in which a woman confused and ambivalent about lesbianism is confronted by her head-shrinker
and his battery of pseudo-therapeutic analyses and methods. Judy is a radical lesbian, but women (and quite a few men) have
found her work exciting. The dynamic quality of her writing and its subjects is even more apparent in readings such as this
(where KPFA's studio audience tried to be quiet, but finally exploded). Sensitive language.

Feminist visual artist Judy Chicago, one of the founders of the Women's Building in Los Angeles and author of "Through the

is a major piece of sculpture that encompasses the history of western women from the beginning of time using traditional crafts
and symbols as well as the new technology and feminist ideas. None of the controversy surrounding the project is discussed.
Chicago explains that there are three parts to the project: the exhibition itself, the book she wrote that relates to, explains
the piece, and is itself another expression of the information, and the film made by Johanna Demetrakas, who made the Womanhouse
film and who had been filming the project for two and a half years and will produce a feature color documentary, which deals
not only with the making of the piece but also the relationship between the past and the present and the experience of working
on the project. Chicago also gives a full, illustrative description of the physicality of this exhibition, which premiered
at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in March, 1979. They also discuss the status and experience of women in the art
world. Interviewed and produced by Karla Tonella, February 1979.

which Kroll took to mean the program was not a paid production and also because it was a one-sided commentary with no chance
for rebuttal. Kroll called KPIX to ask where they stood on the issue of allowing such a political diatribe to go unanswered
by the other side.

whereby female prostitutes are punished for providing their services but their male customers are rarely criminalized. She

to prevent its occurrence and, in fact, reinforces the gender and class imbalances inherent in American society. The interview

Scope and Contents
Lois Hansen, Ellen Dubrowin and Deborah Janone of KPFA visited executives at nine representative Bay Area radio and TV stations
and asked them about the status of female employees there. Upon discovering the near-total lack of women in any but clerical
positions, the KPFA women asked for descriptions of technical and on-air jobs, and tried to get some definitions of talent
from the men who would be judging women applicants for it. As it became obvious that it would take women years to qualify,
the KPFA women aksed the station executives what type of programming they feel that women in their audience want. The results
of all of this were discouraging enough to conclude that women have more of a "plight" than a "status" in the broadcast industry.

The two-factor theory / Louis O. Kelso and Patricia Hetter interviewed by Elsa Knight Thompson 3235_P01
KPFA, April 12, 1970
Scope and Contents
Louis O. Kelso and Patricia Hetter, originators of the economic theory "Two-factor theory," and authors of the book of the
same title, make a valiant attempt to explain the theory to Elsa Knight Thompson. Louis Kelso states that it is a concept
of the nature of the production and distribution process in economics. For the purposes of understanding the industrial economics
of a free society, one must define the factors of production into two categories: the people or labor factor, including manual
or mental labor; and the non-human factor - everything that is ownable, not including money, i.e. land, structures, and machines.
Fundamental thrust of the theory is that both factors produce goods and services in the same physical, economic, political,
and moral senses. The theory also states that technological change is a process by which man, using his intelligence, harnesses
nature and makes nature work for him through his capital instruments, not through himself. Technological change is a process
by which more and more of the burden of production is taken over by the non-human factor. Kelso was also renowned for inventing
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Virginia Woolf: in her own right / produced by Joanna Brouk (Episode 2 of 7) 9688_P01
KPFA, August 13, 1979
Scope and Contents
The focus of Virginia Woolf's life was writing, and as she developed her art and gained recognition, she began to speak more
and more directly to the issues of feminism. She turned to the problem of creative achievement in a society where any such
efforts were looked down on by men. She recognized an inherent problem in culture which made it impossible for women to achieve
artistic recognition was the economic dependency of women on men due to job discrimination, insufficient salaries and lack
of educational and political opportunities. This program includes discussions between Woolf scholars about her life, and readings
from Woolf's work A Room Of One's Own. The box and all Folio appearances refer to this program title as Virginia Woolf: In
Her Own Right. At the close of the program, the announcer calls the program Virginia Woolf: A Room Of One's Own. Produced
by Joanna Brouk, with the assistance of Wanda McCaddon and Milani Cask. The role of Virginia Woolf was performed by Wanda
McCaddon.Box notes: Probably the best of the series in many ways...certainly has a tear-jerker ending! Mix of docu-drama and

Brief history of European and American Christian-based folklore of witchcraft and magic use throughout the world. This is

Interview with Lenora Foerstel, anthropologist, artist, mother of two, and professor at the Maryland Institute of Fine Art.
They discuss the experiences that Foerstel and fellow anthropologist Theodore Schwartz had on Manus Island, while aiding Margaret
Mead with a follow-up study in New Guinea. The first time Mead visited Manus Island and the Manus tribes, she wrote Growing

not be free until women are free. Many parts of the book were previously published as articles. Topics discussed in the book

Physical Description: 495 Reels
Scope and Contents
KPFK was the second Pacifica station to go on the air, targeting the Southern California region. KPFK began broadcasting in
1959 from Los Angeles, CA, and featured several series focused on women’s lives and experiences, including “A Women’s Place”
(1966-1967) and “Lesbian Sisters” produced by Helene Rosenbluth (1973-ca. 1986). KPFK broadcast several programs focused on
women in the arts and feminist art, including the short series “Women in the Arts” (1971), and Clare Spark’s long standing
arts series “The Sour Apple Tree” that broadcast throughout the 1970s. Another highlight from this series is the West Coast
Women’s Music Festival which took place in Yosemite in September 1980. The series has both the raw recordings from the festival

Scope and Contents
This is the second episode "Dropping Out" in a four part series of lectures by Dr. Carl Faber entitled "Woman as slave." This
episode is in two parts. Part one is the lecture portion of the episode, recorded in January 1977. Faber argues that women
who have played traditional roles, when they try to change their relationship to male chauvinist society, get some self-respect
and enthusiasm at first, but draw rage from men and women. They lose their maternal authority, experience long-term body pain,
and incredible loneliness. They are unacknowledged, ignored, treated with contempt, and it may not be worth it for them. In
part two, Dr. Faber is interviewed after the second lecture about places that women stop at, types of criticism of women who
are liberating themselves, and sexual fragmentation versus sexual repression versus sexual health. Following that there is
a discussion on the value of group validation and a debate on elitism and its relation to sexism. Interviewers are Helene
Rosenbluth and Roy Tuckman. Produced by Roy Tuckman. The interview introduces the third lecture so announcer should outro

Feminist forum : selling women short / Colette Nijhof ; interviewed by Nancy Clinch. 5430_P01
KPFK, December 5, 1972
Scope and Contents
An interview with Colette Nijhof of the National Organization for Women (NOW)'s National Image Committee about the image of
women in the advertising media. Nijhof discusses the harmful, long-term effects that a continuous projection of a negative
image has on women's self-esteem and sense of identity. She describes the selling techniques which are responsible for this
image: the "sexual sell" which is used as a dumping ground for advertisers who are not creative; and the "psychological sell"
which is used to synthesize new problems that the advertising market can zero in on. This program clearly shows the relationship
between the sexual exploitation of women in the advertising media and the systematic oppression of women in American society.
The interviewer is Nancy Clinch. Produced by WETA-FM, Washington, D.C., a Pacifica affiliate.

a single entity, population density and the pill have helped to undermine the biological determinism upon which women's legal
role has been founded. This is her final lecture in the series A Woman's Place.

of male orientation at the University of Southern California in April 1970. She talks about the ways to "make it" individually
that women have found, the responses of both men and women to women who have made it, and the responses from the women who
have made it to the women who haven't. Then Herschfang discusses why women want to make it, why women don't make it, and whether
it's desirable to make it at all in this society. Popular music is interspersed throughout the recording.

Population control as the new fascism : Germaine Greer at UCLA. 12766_P01
KPFK, January 17, 1975
Scope and Contents
Germaine Greer (1939 - ), Australian theorist, feminist and academic, speaks at UCLA, November, 1974. From the box label:
The new fear in the world now is overpopulation, and some say that to overcome it, we must limit people's choices: i.e. compulsory
birth control. But what we must do, she argues, is not submit to control, because that control is fascism. Greer criticizes
Paul Ehrlich and his family planning program in India; gives a history of the birth rate in England in the early 19th century,
discusses contraception, analyzes what is behind Italy's stable birth rate; and concludes that birth control propaganda is
very hollow because it "blackmails" people into sterilization programs. Greer argues that we must maintain control of our
bodies and expose those who cannot differentiate between the terms "population" and "people." Contains sensitive language.
