Forum on lesbian feminism Dec. 2
A roundtable discussion of the history of lesbian feminism in the Bay Area in the 1970s will be held from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 2.

The program, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Maud Fife Room, 315 Wheeler Hall. Refreshments will be provided.

Moderated by the Susan Stryker, executive director of the San Francisco Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Historical Society, the panel will include local lesbian activists.

The program is presented by the historical society, the English department and the Bancroft Library. It coincides with the exhibit "The Personal Was Political: Gay Liberation and Lesbian Feminism at Berkeley in the 1970s," now on display in Doe Library's Bernice Layne Brown Gallery.
