Hi: Judaism and feminism have a number of things in common. Both Jews and women have been the traditional victims of invidious discrimination.
I am Jewish--in fact, I'm a Holocaust survivor--and am proud to have been a co-founder of NOW and the first woman attorney in the Office of the General Counsel at the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). I did a study of the 49 founders of NOW several years ago and was pleased to see the number of Jewish founders exceeded the proportion of Jews in the US population, which is somewhat less than 2%.
So far, I have spent about 50 years fighting for women's rights and hope to continue as long as I can. If interested in my work, check out my website at www.erraticimpact.com/fuentes and read my memoir, "Eat First--You Don't Know What They'll Give You, The Adventures of an Immigrant Family and Their Feminist Daughter." Or email me at spfuentes@comcast.net
