I was at that conference in 1969 and I remember that the group divided into those who wanted to create the book and those who wanted to create a clinic. I was in the latter group and helped co-found the Cambridgeport Women's Clinic which ran (at least) from July 1972 to September 1973), serving hundreds of women with free health care and education. The late great women's historian and pioneering Women's Studies professor Laurie Crumpacker (1941-2024) and her husband Dr. Clyde Crumpacker were co-founders along with a collective of more than a dozen paramedics, several of whom went on to become doctors, medical educators and nurse practitioners.
