The Veteran Feminists of America 20th Conference in LAA testimonial from the screening:
"This weekend I was lucky enough to watch this documentary: Feminist: Stories from Women's Liberation. I'm saying the word loud and clear ever since Saturday!
F E M I N I ST!!
It was a great reminder of how many women had to speak out and fight for what we take for granted today. And that we need to be active to insure those rights stay in place and continue to strive for a better balance in equality. "
- Rae Eiklor, Los Angeles, CA

"Everyone loved your film. They were transfixed."

Jacqui Ceballos, President, Veteran Feminists of America

We are selling DVDs to universities, public schools, beauty schools, and non-profits. We are touring the remaining Feminist Bookstores in the United States (only 13 of them left).

Recent Interviews:
60 Seconds with...Feminist History Network
Excerpt: Jennifer Lee: "I have always identified with “feminism” and have positive feelings around the word “feminist.” Since the women’s liberation movement I have observed extreme negativity attached to the word “feminist.” With that negativity comes a rejection of the great women’s liberation movement. I want to bring more positive images and feelings to the word “feminism” and a whole-hearted remembering of the feminist revolution."
