Biography

Marsha Epstein has been a lifelong activist for LGBT rights, and an advocate for the inclusion of bisexual accounts as part of the history of the gay rights movement. She is a subject in the documentary, On These Shoulders We Stand, an historical account of early gay life and activism in Los Angeles told by the people who lived it. She is also an active volunteer and participant in the Los Angeles Jewish community, through her work with Beth Chayim Chadasim.
She received her Bachelor's Degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, and attended medical school at UC San Francisco where she received a Master of Public Medicine. She studied Health in Epidemiology at UC Berkeley and completed a residency in General Preventive Medicine. She also completed a Fellowship in Family Planning at UCLA and started working in family planning, performing abortions for Los Angeles County for a brief period. She had a private practice for four years and after the birth of her son, eventually went to work for the Los Angeles County Public Health System for twenty eight years. She served as a District Health Officer for thirteen years, Area Medical Director for twelve years, and then transferred to Chronic Disease Prevention. She developed a tobacco cessation continuing education program online, also serving to educate primary care doctors throughout Los Angeles County about tobacco cessation.
In 1974-1975, she worked for the women's clinic at the Gay and Lesbian Services Center in Los Angeles. From 1975-1979 she was the Medical Director of Herself Health Clinic, a women's clinic run by a cooperative of radical lesbians for the women in the community.
