Jewish Feminist Conference

Abstract: According to its statement of purpose, the Jewish Feminist Conference asked, "Why is this conference different from all other
conferences? This conference is being organized by Jewish lesbians and Jewish feminists. For many of us the dynamic of being
Jewish and lesbian has fueled our energy and provided the impetus for our work." These records contain documents relating
to the planning of two San Francisco area conferences, one held in 1982 and the other in 1983. The collection also includes
audio tapes from the conference workshops, as well as flyers and pamphlets from Jewish, feminist, and other lesbian organizations
and events from California.
