baysian: asianamericanactivism: First pages of Asian Women (1971), a journal produced by students at UC Berkeley, with articles and art submitted by Asian women across the country. Most of the compilers met in Asian Studies 170, a winter 1971 proseminar designed to discuss the history and roles of Asian women. Confronted with sexism in the Asian movement, and finding that “the white middle-class woman’s liberation movement” was not relevant to their lives, many Asian American women activists in colleges found the need to create venues for their experiences and opinions. I’ve joined on as an admin at sampaguitagirl aka Maria’s Asian American Activism tumblr! I’m currently doing my Ethnic Studies honors thesis on women in the 1960s/70s Asian American Movement (then known as the Asian Movement), and will be uploading all kindsa primary source goodies and quotes as I go. Check it out! -- source link
