Monday, November 9, 2020: The fight to Dump Trump and lesbian feminism of the 70's.

This Monday on Women’s Magazine for our first post trump show we will talk to Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson about the election and the new multiracial black and brown lead movements that helped win this election for the Democrats especially in the south.

"I would encourage people not to get confused by red and blue maps but to pay attention to population density...actually look and see how many people were disenfranchised from voting in the very first place." Ash-Lee Woodward Henderson

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson is a 35 year old Affrilachian (Black Appalachian), woman from the working class, born and raised in Southeast Tennessee. She is the first Black woman to serve as Co-Executive Director of the Highlander Research & Education Center in New Market, TN. As a member of multiple leadership teams in the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL), Ash-Lee has thrown down on the Vision for Black Lives and the BREATHE Act. Ash-Lee has served on the governance council of the Southern Movement Assembly, the advisory committee of the National Bailout Collective, and is an active leader of The Frontline a united front working to prevent voter suppression among other issues. She is a long-time activist who has done work in movements fighting for workers, for reproductive justice, for LGBTQUIA+ folks, for environmental justice, and more.

"I am hopeful for the future [because] I am informed by literally centuries of successful organizing work particularly led by Black women...we have already saved this country multiple times and we saved it on November 3rd..." Ash-Lee Woodward Henderson

And we talk to Ginny Berson about the radical  lesbian and feminist movements of the '70s and '80s which created an impetus to form more independent and equitable social and cultural institutions—bookstores, publishers, health clinics, and more—to support the unprecedented surge in women's arts of all kinds. Olivia Records was at the forefront of these models, not only recording and distributing women's music but also creating important new social spaces for previously isolated women and lesbians through concerts and festivals.

Ginny Z. Berson, one of Olivia's founding members and visionaries, kept copious records during those heady days—days also fraught with contradictions, conflicts, and economic pitfalls. With great honesty, Berson offers her personal take on what those times were like in her new book “Olivia on the Record: A Radical Experiment in Women’s Music” where she revisits the excitement and the hardships of creating a fair and equitable lesbian-feminist business model—one that had no precedent.

Monday, November 11, 2019: Excavating Uruguayan Lesbian Herstory

courtesy Carolina de Robertis

Kate Raphael speaks with novelist Carolina de Robertis about her stunning new book, Cantoras, a story based on the real experiences of Uruguyan lesbians making a place for themselves and each other amidst the secrets and terror of the military dictatorship. The New York Times calls the book "brazenly hopeful ... a revolutionary fable, ideal for this moment." Carolina and I met over empanadas at Oakland's Cafe Santana; so you'll also learn the difference between Platense empanadas (those from the Rio de la Plata region of Argentina and Uruguay) and those from Chile, Peru and the Philippines.

Event: Meet the Authors, 20th Anniversary of NANOWRIMO at the SF Main Library, Wed, Nov 13 at 6 PM. Carolina will participate with a panel of writers to talk about their writing process and what it is like to write 50,000 words in a month.

Monday, June 4, 2018: Chrystos: Poet in Action

This week on Women's Magazine:

courtesy Poetry Foundation

Chrystos is a Native American of the Menominee nation, born in 1946 and raised in San Francisco. A political activist and speaker as well as an artist and writer, she is self educated. Her tireless momentum is directed at better understanding how issues of colonialism, genocide, class and gender affect the lives of women and Native people.

Her books include Fugitive Colors, Not Vanishing, Dream On, Fire Power and In Her I Am.

In 1995, Queer in Your Ear (Emily Charles & Mary Salome) interviewed Chrystos about her activism and poetry, and recorded her reading at two venues in San Francisco, Luna Sea and Old Wives' Tales. The monthly program Queer in Your Ear was cancelled before the program could air. Chrystos' words continue to inspire us, and we are very happy to bring excerpts from the readings and interview to you for the first time now, decades later.

Monday, March 12, 2018: Women Against Imperialism Oral History Project

Kate Raphael talks with Jennifer Beach and Judith Mirkinson, two members of Women Against Imperialism, a Bay Area feminist collective that organized hundreds of actions and actions large and small between 1981 and 1993. For a number of years they organized an annual International Women's Day march in San Francisco that brought hundreds or thousands of women into the street. We're also joined by scholar Brooke Lober, creator of the Women Against Imperialism Oral History Project.

Get MP3 of this interview. 58:20 min

Women Against Imperialism was a grassroots, feminist, anti-imperialist solidarity organization formed in San Francisco in 1981. The group’s founders comprised the women’s caucus of the Bay Area chapter of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee. A small, local organization whose members also worked with a range of other anti-prison, feminist, international solidarity, LGBT, and anti-war organizations, Women Against Imperialism’s work primarily consisted of direct action organizing, political education activities, and internal political study. Primary areas of focus included support for women political prisoners; sex trade and trafficking; international solidarity (Central America; Palestine; Philippines; Puerto Rico; South Africa); militarism; and reproductive justice. One of the group’s most consistent projects was co-organizing an annual International Women’s Day march in San Francisco (1983-1996). from Freedom Archives

The singer Ronnie Gilbert, who passed away last week, was best known as a member of The Weavers, the singing group that also featured Pete Seeger. Gilbert’s bright career was abruptly interrupted when the group was targeted by the House Unamerican Activities Committee in the 1950s.  She moved to California, raised a daughter and became a psychotherapist. In the 1980s, she connected with Holly Near and joined the vibrant women’s music scene, eventually coming out as a lesbian. 

Ronnie and Holly (http://soundtracktomyday.blogspot.com/)

Ronnie Gilbert( http://soundtracktomyday.blogspot.com/)

Adrienne Lauby, Thyme Siegel and Shelley Berman of KRCB’s Outbeat Salon interviewed Ronnie in 2009 about how the partnership with Holly Near and the women’s and lesbian movement impacted her life.  We listen to part of the interview, as well as some of Ronnie’s songs.

You can help us continue to bring you unique programming like this by doing three things, or any one of them:

PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT DURING WOMEN'S MAGAZINE

We'll be offering Christina's book as a thank you gift for your donation of $130 to KPFA during this hour.  (If that sounds like a lot, keep in mind that it's just around 35 cents a day!.)  If you can't give that, no worries.  Give what you can.  Remember you can donate completely securely at www.kpfa.org, if that's more convenient than calling 1-800-439-5732 and making your pledge by phone.  If you can't donate during the broadcast, you can do it later (or earlier) online and if you request our premium, it will be credited to us, and you can also mention Women's Magazine in your comments.

And even if you can't give anything, there are two more ways you can help --

PLEASE PASS ON OUR REQUEST TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT LISTEN TO KPFA TO DONATE THIS TIME AROUND. 

Only about one in eight people who listen to KPFA ever make a donation.  If we could get that up to one in five, we could do fund drives a lot less often.  Do us a favor and share our donation page https://secure.kpfa.org/support/ to your Facebook or Twitter accounts and other social media. Help us grow and eliminate a future fund drive, so please #PassItOn!

It's simple and will make a tremendous impact. So how about it, will you support us and #KPFAPassItOn?

That is so simple, people don't even realize it matters.  After all, it's so much easier to just catch it later in the archive. Which is great. I listen to most of my favorite shows as podcasts, and I definitely encourage you all to podcast our show.  But the station also pays attention to Arbitron ratings, which measure how many people are tuned in at the time of the broadcast, and also to numbers of people listening on the website.  So just keeping your radio tuned to 94.1 FM or listening live at www.kpfa.org tomorrow, Monday, from 1-2 pm, will help to keep feminist programming on air in the Bay Area.

We can do it!!!  Thanks so much for all your support.  #KPFAPassItOn!

Kate
