The collection is arranged in 6 series, each being the Pacifica Radio Station (or entity) where the recording was produced
or first broadcast (based on information available).
The items in each series are then arranged alphabetically by title of recording.
In 1946, Lewis Hill (1919-1957), a pacifist, Quaker, and Washington, D.C. newsman, established the Pacifica Foundation to
“…contribute to a lasting understanding between nations and between the individuals of all nations, races, creeds, and colors…[and]promote
the full distribution of public information.” (Pacifica Foundation Mission Statement, http://www.pacifica.org/about_mission.php)
On April 15, 1949, after three years of planning and fundraising, the first Pacifica Station – KPFA FM in Berkeley, CA – went
on the air, becoming the first broadcast entity to successfully experiment with listener sponsorship, now the backbone of
the public broadcasting system. In 1959, Pacifica expanded to Southern California with KPFK Los Angeles, and in 1960, New
York radio station WBAI was donated to Pacifica by owner Louis Schweitzer for broadcast in New York. In 1970 Pacifica’s Houston,
TX station KPFT began broadcasting, and Pacifica’s fifth station, WPFW in Washington, D.C. began broadcasting in 1977. All
five stations continue to broadcast under the Pacifica network today.
The Pacifica Radio Archives (“the Archives”), originally known as the Pacifica Tape Library, was established in 1972 to be
Pacifica’s preservation and distribution arm. The Archives are located in North Hollywood, CA in the KPFK radio building,
and are endowed with the mission to appraise, collect, organize, describe and preserve the creative work generated by, or
produced in association with Pacifica Radio, and make it available for research, reference, rebroadcast, or re-purposing (as
appropriate). The est. 100,000 historically significant reel-to-reel master audio tapes were deposited by Pacifica station
and network producers, and individual station program directors. Each program, including those in the American Women collection,
was deemed to be of importance, either for historic value, for copying and distribution to Pacifica and other public, community
and educational radio stations for broadcast, or because it would be of interest to researchers, documentarians or a significant
number of individual listeners. The American Women collection includes the Archives’ holdings from Pacifica radio entities
pertaining to the Women’s movement, or the period popularly known as second-wave feminism in the United States; from the publication
of The Feminine Mystique (Betty Friedan, 1963) until Congress failed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in 1982.
All of the tapes in the American Women collection are recordings of programs broadcast by the Pacifica stations during the
collection time span, and accessioned by the Archives for distribution and safekeeping. This collection is but a fraction
of the total number of programs created at that time. Many tapes, for reasons of economy, were dubbed over and recycled in
order to save on costs of tape stock, and it is unknown how many of these programs are gone for good. We are indeed fortunate
that some of this crucial material was saved.
From its beginning in 1949, and through the Women’s movement era, Pacifica's noncommercial, listener-supported radio stations
opened their microphones to brave new thinkers, the disenfranchised, activists, and creative-types. Pacifica had unique access
to groups of people typically under-represented in the public record, and provided a comfortable, salon-type setting where
guests felt free to explore new ideas. Pacifica has always been dedicated to airing a spectrum of views, and views there were:
conservative, radical, all over the map. KPFA-Berkeley, KPFK-Los Angeles, and WBAI-New York broadcast some of the first programs
directly addressing the Women’s movement, and there were always key women programmers and staff at Pacifica’s oldest station,
KPFA-Berkeley. Pacifica Radio and the Archives’ collection pre-date National Public Radio by over twenty years, including
the years 1963-1971, which were pivotal to the American Women’s movement
Archives Director Brian DeShazor and the Archives team: Project Coordinator Adi Gevins, Project Archivist Jolene Beiser, Archivists
Joe Gallucci and Holly Rose McGee, and Production staff Edgar Toledo began work on the large-scale American Women project
in 2011, selecting recordings, and forming collaborations with the UC Berkeley Library, the Internet Archive, George Blood
L.P., and several women’s historians, politicians, artists, academics, and authors who would be instrumental to the NHPRC
grant-funded project. In 2013 the Archives was awarded the NHPRC Access to Historical Records grant, and grant-funded work
on the collection began in October 2013 and continued through January 2016.
Collection open for research.

This collection includes the Pacifica Radio Archives’ holdings of recordings broadcast by the Pacifica radio entities (KPFA-Berkeley,
CA; KPFK-Los Angeles, CA; WBAI-New York, NY; KPFT-Houston, TX; WPFW-Washington, DC; Pacifica National Programming (satellite))
pertaining to the Women’s movement and women’s lives during the period popularly known as second-wave feminism in the United
States. The recordings were broadcast between 1963 and 1982, and accessioned by Pacifica Radio Archives for distribution and
safekeeping in 1972 or directly after being broadcast. A small portion of the collection was sent to the Archives in more
recent years by the stations that originally broadcast the recordings or by the programs’ producers. This collection is but
a fraction of the total number of women’s programs created and broadcast at that time, but is all that was donated to and
held by the Archives.
The recordings in this collection were processed and cataloged by Pacifica Radio Archives archivists Jolene Beiser, Joseph
Gallucci, and Holly Rose McGee. The finding aid was completed by Jolene Beiser, Project Archivist, in March 2016. The work
was made possible through grant funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC).
This is an “artificial collection” of recordings broadcast on the Pacifica Network between 1963 and 1982 related to women’s
issues and second-wave feminism, or produced by and/or featuring women. Most of the recordings were selected because they
are women-focused or about women’s rights and feminism, but several more were included that were not created to document women’s
lives, but their subject matter, voice, and the time period they represent, do.
One thousand six hundred and ninety-six reel-to-reel tapes in this collection were digitized in 2014 and 2015 thanks to an
Access to Historical Records grant from the NHPRC. The 328 additional tapes in this collection had been digitized previous
to the NHPRC grant by the Archives or through other grant-funded projects at the Archives between 2003 and 2014. These 2,024
recordings were brought together to be preserved long-term at UC Berkeley and the California Digital Library, and to be made
more findable through this finding aid, the UC Berkeley Library catalog, Pacifica Radio Archives website, and the Internet
Archive.
The collection includes 2,024 reel tapes and 2,024 WAV audio files. The tapes were received by the Pacifica Radio Archives
in either the Los Angeles location (1972-1988) or North Hollywood location (1988-present) from the stations that originally
broadcast the recordings or from the program producers. The originating stations include: KPFA-Berkeley, KPFK-Los Angeles,
WBAI-New York City, KPFT-Houston, WPFW-Washington, D.C., and Pacifica National Programming (satellite). All 2,024 tapes are
now being stored at the University of Maryland’s Public Broadcasting Archive. The 2,024 WAV files are being stored on servers
at the Pacifica Radio Archives, the UC Berkeley Library, and the Internet Archive in San Francisco, CA.
Nearly all of the recordings have an indication that they were broadcast from one of the five Pacifica stations or satellite
sometime between 1963 and 1982. A handful of these recordings were recorded before 1963, but were re-broadcast during the
project’s date scope. Some of the recordings had no broadcast date, but they were sent to the Archives from a Pacifica station,
and were created sometime between 1963 and 1982, so are likely to have been broadcast during the project’s date scope as well.
The date listed in each recording’s record refers to the broadcast date (e.g. “KPFA, July 11, 1977”). Partial and approximated
dates are indicated numerically (e.g. “KPFA, 1982-uu-uu”, “KPFA, 1981-02-uu~”). The dates listed for each series record refer

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).

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

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
around by the hair. Until recently, neither children nor archeologists had attributed much importance to the role of cave
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.

Race and class: patriarchal politics and women's experience / Bettina Aptheker 9731_P01
KPFA, December 4, 1982
Scope and Contents
The politics of privilege. How does racism work to distort and lessen White women's lives? Bettina Aptheker, Coordinator of
Women's Studies as U.C. Santa Cruz, spoke in April 1982 at Stanford University as part of the lecture series "Gender, Race
and Class in Society," sponsored by The Center for Research of Women. Aptheker has written extensively on the role of Black
women in American society, and has recently published "Women's Legacy: Essays on Race, Sex, and Class in American History"

Lecture is 51 minutes long, followed by 38 minutes of Q and A. KPFA Women's Dept. Note on label: "This program gets excellent

The Dinner Party / Judy Chicago interviewed by Karla Tonella 1420_P01
KPFA, 1979-02-uu
Scope and Contents
Feminist visual artist Judy Chicago, one of the founders of the Women's Building in Los Angeles and author of "Through the
Flower" talks with Karla Tonella, KPFA, about her exhibit "The Dinner Party." In the making for five years, "The Dinner Party"
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

on the state of higher education in California. The station introduced the program by saying it was "in the public interest,"
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.

The Plight of women in broadcasting / produced by Lois Hansen, Ellen Dubrowin, and Deborah Janone. 5472_P01
KPFA, August 25, 1972
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

kind of idiosyncrasies are witches. Also discussed are the devil, vampires, werewolves, and the need for fantasy and scapegoats
in society. In the conclusion of their discussion, they note that all of the notions they have discussed are from non-witches.

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
Up In New Guinea (G. Routledge and Sons, Ltd. 1931). This was Mead's return to the island 25 years after her initial trip,
to study any effect on the Manus and Usiai tribes after World War II, resulting in the book New Lives For Old (Morrow, 1956).
Foerstel discusses the effect of Paliau Maloat on the two previously warring tribes and recounts her arrival on Manus Island,
how their boat capsized, their rescue by the islanders, and the volcanic eruption that followed. This interview was conducted
in 1964, and Foerstel went on to publish Confronting the Margaret Mead Legacy: Scholarship, Empire, and the South Pacific
(Temple University Press, 1992), re-examining traditional Western anthropology of non-Western cultures. Interviewed by Larry

*Station switchboard volunteer, not someone I know, said as I left that he thought that was the best part of the show. I was
critical of audience for questions it did NOT ask of 4 Soviet guests on show previous week, and for most of those it did ask.
I pointed out that both represented acceptance of manipulation by Carter and media: when he wanted focus on Afghanistan and
Olympics and Iran, I was barraged with questions on that. Last week, there was NO question on any of those, nor any to elicit
what kind of human beings my Soviet visitors were. (All spoke English) One was a Central Asian woman, Moslem heritage. Despite
showing of "Death of a Princess" and "On Company Business" previous week, there were no questions on women in Central Asia,

KPFK, March 8, 1977
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

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.

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.

Sex : the male ego / by Dr. Albert E. Ross (Episode 2 of 7) 13293_P01_02
KPFK, January 11, 1978
Scope and Contents
In his second lecture in the series, Dr. Al Ross explores our attitudes toward sex and sexuality. Sex is learned from birth
from our parents' attitudes towards their sex and humanness which can't be understood as separate entities. The problem is
that sex problems are all personality problems, not "technique" problems. We can't make a commitment to another unless we
have one to ourselves, and where there is love and spirituality, there can be no sex problems. In the question-answer period
after the break (on reel 2), Dr. Ross answers questions and gives some of his background. "Why do men use women as objects
in the 'real world'?" "Is his feeling of God and spirituality similar to Buber's 'I and Thou'?" Ross further enlarges on his
conception of the "psychic child" - an entity which grows, created by interaction between a man and woman, which contains
parts of both of them. Produced by Roy E. Tuckman. Outro says that lecture is also available through UCLA Extension. Contains
sensitive language. Previously cataloged as KZ0452A.

KPFK, March 8, 1977
Scope and Contents
This is the third episode "Sexuality, violence, and aggression" in a four part series of lectures by Dr. Carl Faber entitled
"Woman as slave." This episode is in two parts. Part one is Faber's lecture on sexuality, violence, and aggression, given
in January 1977. Dr. Carl Faber, a heterosexual monogamist, lectures on how, with awareness, women may get sexually spaced
out, allowing sex with no closeness some feel is "mature." They may be turned off completely and may become sexually involved
with a person they trust: a woman. Faber goes on to suggest that when a woman gets in touch with how men have treated her,
she experiences a violent murderous homicidal rage without end. In the end, she can learn physical self-protection and respect.
In part two Dr. Faber is interviewed by Helene Rosenbluth and Roy Tuckman, discussing the possibilities for a good male/female
relationship; refining one's individuality and aloneness; dignity, truth, pride, and purity of experience as motivation and
reward for the suffering and loneliness; the lack of awareness of sexist language in college; maturity. This part should follow
lecture #3. The end introduces lecture #4, so the announcer should indicated when that lecture will be broadcast. Produced

The Crippled Person / lecture and interview with Dr. Carl Faber (Episode 1 of 4) 28641_P01_03
KPFK, March 8, 1977
Scope and Contents
This is the first episode "The Crippled Person" in a four part series of lectures by Dr. Carl Faber entitled "Woman as slave."
This episode is in three parts. In part one, Dr. Faber is interviewed prior to KPFK's presentation of the first lecture by
Helene Rosenbluth, a young lesbian feminist and Roy Tuckman, male feminist, about what he means to say in the lecture series,
his motivations, audience reactions, the situation of a man talking to women about women, his data sources, and male versus
female feeling experience. Part two is the lecture portion of this episode, Dr. Faber's "The Crippled Person," given in January
1977. In this lecture, Faber says men can't define women's roles and that psychology is piggish. The deal with men has been
for women to be crippled, allowed various thoughts and roles and disallowed others. The essence of woman's experience of self
is hurt and impotence, which may overwhelm her entire life. At the same time, her slave master man leans on her for self respect
and love, which makes her hate him more. The essential problem: women are ripped off. Part three is the second interview of
Dr. Faber by Rosenbluth and Tuckman about how men can avoid abusing women and being sexist; women working alone versus women
in a group; coupleism versus groupism; definitions of vulnerability; ego defense; and eastern versus western philosophical
points of view. Instructions given "This interview should be played right after lecture #1 (Part 2). There is an introduction
to lecture #2 at the end, so the announcer should indicated when lecture #2 will be broadcast." Interviews with Dr. Faber
were recorded in March 1977. Program produced by Roy Tuckman.

the role of women combine into various ways: that people should be educated for future occupations with the idea that women's
occupations may be various; that women should be offered the whole spectrum of educational possibilities to prepare them for
the whole spectrum of occupational opportunities; that a woman be exposed to the whole sweep of human knowledge so that she
may be prepared to be a wife and mother; and that women's education should be very specific and aimed solely at integrating
women into the domestic milieu.

Scope and Contents
Nancy Reeves, attorney, lecturer, and writer tests the traditional approach to the status of women "down through the ages
and up to the minute." This episode examines external (male) counseling (of women). Reeves reads a series of quotations illustrating
the traditional approach to the status of women, resulting in the conclusion that woman is primarily wife and mother, that
the private is her exclusive sphere, that the public world of work and politics belongs to man, that rivalry with man in these
pursuits is unnatural and dangerous, that woman cannot successfully enter the intellectual realm because her genius is affective,
that any knowledge she might have should derive intuitively, and that it is her destiny to be nurturing and passive. Reeves
then proposes to evaluate the arguments advancing this model by the criteria of logic, by a comparison with the patterns of
the past, and by an examination of other contemporary societies. Part One contains the examination through logic.

of the past, and the third method - the cross-cultural - to learn whether the traditional model obtains in other living societies.
The next lecture will examine the antithesis of the traditional approach, namely the challenging view.

The women's suffragist movement / Susan Rennie 7162_P01
KPFK, August 26, 1976
Scope and Contents
Feminist historian and co-editor of "The new woman's survival catalog," Susan Rennie talks about the suffragist movement with
Helene Rosenbluth and Annette Hunt. Rennie discusses the early feminists, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others...their
efforts and accomplishments from 1848 to 1919. She speaks about the general opposition from the Church, and the linking of
the feminists with the Temperance Movement. (Money was poured into the coffers of the opposition by liquor manufacturers for
fear the women would vote Temperance.) Rennie claims the "abolitionists sold women out," first using their hard efforts and
then excluding them from victory - only male Negroes were granted freedom. The tape ends with a discussion of the factions
within the movement, the thirty-year pause in the struggle, and the backlash of the middle class in the popularization of
Freud, which defined a woman's search of a wider identity as penis envy, and those who refused to accept predominating roles
as castrating females. Produced by Helene Rosenbluth, Annette Hunt, and Mari Elena Vandevier.

Humanity is breeding itself into extinction, Baird asserts, and have not addressed the fundamental cause: human sexuality.
The population crisis of India and China will soon spread to the entire world, he continues, which proves that the presence
or absence of birth control does not contribute to promiscuity. The problem of attaining an abortion in the United States,
Baird points out, leads to thousands of deaths. The more functional form of birth control, therefore, is prevention of pregnancy
through IUD's, the pill, or prophylactics. Baird also attacks the double sexual standards in society for young men and young
women.

Interview with poet and author Tillie Olsen on her book, Silences, produced by Kathy Ann Kersey. The interview begins with
Olsen speaking about her book and the circumstances for women writers. She asserts how much class impacts the life of writers.
Her book, Silences describes those writers who are recognizable and those who are unknown. The interviewer (whose name is
not known) presents questions about the recent Writer's Congress and how she came to this theme. Olsen describes how she arrived
at the theme out of her own life. She herself had four children and was the sole provider for her family. She tells how she
believes a writer's achievements are more often about circumstance rather than their gift as a writer. She argued with the
Writers Congress' assertion that there is no working class literature because there is no working class intelligentsia. Olsen
speaks about her own childhood and how writers often accept the interpretation of others instead of their own experience.
She describes the agony of being a part-time writer and how the writer is then fragmented.

Scope and Contents
Rob Crocker, WBAI, interviews Kathleen Cleaver, wife of Eldridge Cleaver, and today representing the International Section
of the Black Panther party, after her arrival back to the U.S. [from Algeria?]. Tape cuts in on Kathleen speaking about the
BPP movement outside the U.S. and now plans to widen their struggle inside the U.S., including a speaking tour. Contradictions
in the BPP "have been resolved" and now need to focus on three areas of need: political prisoners (BP's in prison and trial);
military (Black Vietnam vets); convicts (black victims in prison). She calls for "revolutionary" movement among blacks for
"liberation for Afro-American people"; speaks of "chaos" in the U.S. BPP due to transition from Civil Rights movement (issues)
to Revolutionary Struggle (goals) as the U.S. moves from working class to fascist imperial power (gives Attica Prison Rebellion
as example). Kathleen says reason BP members involved in holdups is due to their need for support. She sees struggle in terms
of rich vs. poor class going on mainly underground. Need is to mobilize the people against the power structure "the pigs".
Kathleen, at prompting of Crocker, mentions harassment by FBI upon arrival at the airport in U.S. 53:00 takes phone calls.
Concern is what will happen to the struggle after Vietnam War ends and with U.S., China partnering going on under Nixon. Cleaver
attacks Nixon as the "biggest oppressor". She focuses on needs of "the people" as basis for the struggle. Problem is the capitalistic
system has been developed into the extreme Imperialist, fascist system that is leading to "civil war". BPP supports the Weatherman
movement she tells one caller. She tells another about the concern for political prisoners like the "L.A. 13" and Geronimo
[Pratt] trial, Landon and Rory trial, mentions others. She also talks of the "Caro" town situation (Blacks vs. whites shooting
it out).

Interview with Ellen DuBois, Associate Professor of History and American Studies at SUNY Buffalo, on her new book entitled
"Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony: correspondence, writings, speeches." DuBois discusses the origins of feminism in
England with Mary Wollstonecraft and Frances Wright. While the US feminist movement in the 1920's fought for education for
women and sexual equality, DuBois notes that women in the 1830s were very militant. Both Stanton and Anthony's families were
abolitionists and radical Quakers. Stanton, in 1848, helped organize the first women's rights movement, and Anthony was involved
in the temperance movement. DuBois also notes the conflict between women's rights and freedom and the right to vote; also,
the fight for court reforms, closing of prisons, and day care. Also contains readings of some of Stanton and Anthony's speeches.

Some voices of the town (Episode 1 of 5) 29131_P01
WBAI, 1965-03-21~
Scope and Contents
The first in a series of five parts produced in 1965 by then-folio editor of WBAI, Marcia Tompkins, about her hometown of
Tuscaloosa, Alabama. On this program, some voices from the town of Tuscaloosa are featured.This series was lightly edited
and re-broadcast in July and August 1970 (according to folio). This recording opens with a preface by Thompkins explaining
why the tapes hadn't been rebroadcast over the last five years (1965-1970). She left WBAI in 1965 because of issues at the
station and took the tapes, all except Part 2 of the KKK meeting with her. She says her reasons were because of her dissatisfaction
with the station, and because they were subpoenaed by the House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Most importantly,
however, was that the recordings very much upset her family in Tuscaloosa. Now that the family has "survived," she wanted
to re-broadcast the 1965 series for comparison with her new series (upcoming in September 1970, according to folio) entitled
"You must go home: 1970." (Archive #BC2793 see here).

Bonnie Bellow interviews Meg Katz of "Stop E.R.A.", one of the groups opposed to the passage of New York's Equal Rights Amendment.
Katz details how she thinks an amendment would hurt women, make them responsible for their husband's mistakes and not give
them legal backup if they need it. She names groups that she believes have funded the pro-E.R.A. movement. Passage of the
E.R.A. will benefit "big business" by taking away legal protections for women's labor. Women have their legal protections
and work rights now. Don't need to change the State Constitution, need legislation to correct any problems. The ERA will break
up a family. NOW women shout they will restructure society, we don't need the family restructured. Children need fathers and
mothers and their training. [please see label for more information] Very lively discussion.

On April 5 and 6, 1975, the New School chapter of the Union of Radical Political Economists hosted a conference on Marxian
Approaches to History. This recording consists of the formal presentations given during a session on the capitalist function
of the family. Sarah Elbert, State University of New York at Binghamton, delivers a talk entitled "The Concept of Domestic
Feminism" about the domestic reform movement of the early 19th century which sought to cushion the shock of industrialization
and nuclearization of American families with a cult of conservative domesticity. As opposed to the 1700's, when they often
worked alongside their men, 19th century women were relegated to the unpaid caste of housewives. The second speaker, Silvia
Federici, sees the nuclear family as a factory for capitalism. She calls for women to undermine this exploitative system by
demanding wages for work in the home.

Women in Russia / Diane Feeley. 12802_P01
WBAI, 1975-uu-uu
Scope and Contents
Lecturing before a class at the National Organization for Women (NOW) offices in New York, Diane Feeley discusses the role
of women in Russian history. She relates the early oppression of women in old Russia, when women were nothing more than chattels
to their husbands. She then describes the major feminist reforms of the early 1900's: women played a major role in the 1917
Revolution, and afterwards, helped bring about social change. However, the reforms were all obliterated with the ascension
of Stalin to power in the 1930's. In modern-day Russia, many women are professionals, but as Feeley demonstrates with the
modern Russian novella "A Week Like Any Other", they are still tied down to the drudgery of housework and childcare. Produced
by WBAI.
