The conference will bring together 40 Jewish women who participated in the women’s liberation and Jewish feminist movements beginning in the late 1960s. The story of these varied groups of feminists in relation to one another, and to larger narratives of feminist activism and American Jewish history remains to be told. This event will provide a forum to explore the goals, objectives, visions, struggles, achievements and legacies of feminist activism.
