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
other Jewish, feminist, and lesbian organizations from and events in California.

According to its statement of purpose, the Jewish Feminist Conference (held in 1982 and
1983 in the San Francisco area) 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."
The Jewish Feminist Conference collection contains documents relating to the planning of
two San Francisco area conferences, one held in 1982 and the other in 1983, and audio tapes
from the conference workshops. Also included in the collection are flyers and pamphlets from
other Jewish, feminist, and lesbian organizations and events both in California and outside
of California. The conference materials contain statements on such topics as anti-Semitism,
racism, ageism, class and fat oppression, disability, and differing cultures within
Judaism.
Materials about the conferences are arranged at the beginning of the collection, followed
by materials documenting other organizations' programs and activism. Audiovisual materials
about the conference are arranged in box 2.
