Jewish Feminisms/American Visions: Perspectives from Fifty Years of Activism
“Jewish Feminisms/American Visions” will bring an array of pioneering and contemporary feminist activists to Ann Arbor to consider the role of Jewish identity in the framing and development of second wave American feminism. Keying off the interpretations offered by historian Joyce Antler in her recent book, Jewish Radical Feminism, the symposium will ask activists from the 1960s through today to explore the significance of Jewish identities in the development of the women’s liberation movement and the impact of feminism on American Jewish culture, politics, and religion. In addition to conversations between veteran feminists and more recently-minted activists, the program will include a screening of the documentary Changing the World portraying the activist career of conference participant, Heather Booth, and a performance by violinist and klezmer music pioneer, Alicia Svigals.
