Conference turris::womannotes-v2

    I really can't figure out to whom we owe this topic, so many of
    us asked for this or that bit of information.  Certainly Angeline
    Jovan was one of the first, so perhaps she deserves most credit.

    The Office for Children in Acton, MA is putting together a new handbook
    on local resources. All I know for sure is that The Community Supper
    (serving meals and distributing groceries and clothing) will be listed,
    because I'm the publicity director and sent in my listing this morning.

    The previous edition had listing ranging from rape hotlines to mothers'
    groups. Listings for elders' organizations, welfare-type organizations,
    how to report or deal with various kinds of abuse should also be
    listed. The new edition should be going to the printer by the end of
    this month. The number for the Office is 617/264-0314.

    Looking for two tee shirts for friends:
    
    1) "I'd rather be smashing the patriarchy" (rumor has it that this
    comes in purple) *sigh*
    
    2) "Out for good"
    
    Anyone know where I can find these?

re: .3

"Out for good" was last year's Gay Pride theme, so probably what your
friends are looking for is the Official 1987 Gay Pride T-shirt. You *may* be
able to get one by writing to the Boston Pride Committee. Let me see if
I can scrounge their address.

As for the other, I think I've seen it but can't remember where.
Have you tried New Words and Womancrafts?

	Dr. M.V. Pasquantonio is a superb dentist in the Maynard
area.  She is at 47 Lower Nason (parking lot side) at 897-6873.

	Dr. Pasquantonio is definitely the best dentist I have
ever had.  She's got a program that includes a lot of education,
testing, and practice, so you've got to be willing to spend time,
effort, and sometimes expense, but the result is worth it.  I
had heard of oramedics, and it sounded like a good way to take
charge of your own destiny in health.   Actually doing it is 
another matter!   

	After learning the techniques, and cleaning up a
lactobacillus overload, I ended up with a single cavity in 5 years!
A record for me.  Plus, I went from 4-5 colds per year to 1.
I am amazed and pleased at the quality and attention of her service, 
and the results.

	I recommend her heartily for those determined to be
in good health.  Now that I've moved, does anyone know of 
someone comparable in the Newton-Brookline-Cambridge area?

    I live in the Greater Maynard Area and am looking for a loving, honest
    therapist with a strong feminist streak and a sense of humor. I'd like
    to major in relationships and orientation, and occasionally minor in my
    dysfunctional family of origin. I strongly prefer a woman. 
    
    Thanks.

Note xx.x                OB/GYN needed in MANCHESTER, NH              No replies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Can someone recommend an ob/gyn in Manchester, NH?  I have been
    going to Dr. Bruno in Salem, but when I called to schedule my annual
    about 3 weeks ago, I was told his next opening was in October! 
    Although I feel extremely comfortable with Dr. Bruno, and I would
    highly recommend him, I really don't want to wait that long and
    since I live in Manchester, I thought it would be a good time to
    switch.  I would prefer an individual as opposed to a group/clinic.
    Ideally, I would likea doctor who will treat me like a person and not 
    just part of the herd...
                                Thanks for any referrals.

    I have a friend who is going through a divorce/separation and would

    [announcement in Sojourner. Sorry, no phone number was listed.]
    
    The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center will hold a fourteen-week support
    group for women who have been raped. The group is geared to the
    needs of women who have come through the initial crisis and are
    trying to work through longer-term issues. The group will begin
    in September and is free to all participants.

    More information on the rape support group run by BARCC:
    
    The group will consist of 6 to 8 survivors and two facilitators
    (who are responsible for attending to process and checking in on
    the survivors).  The group runs for 14 weeks and is held once each
    week for 1 1/2 hours.  The group is appropriate for women whose
    rape experience occurred one or more years ago.  Women are STRONGLY
    encouraged to attend every session.  Women attending must committ
    to missing no more than two sessions.  The group is topic oriented
    and the group decides together what those topics will be.
    
    For more information leave a message for Fran at the business office
    for BARCC (492-8306).

    I have a young friend (she's 8) who will be undergoing a kidney
    transplant sometime in the next 6-12 months.  I would like to
    find some books for both her and her mother about the topic, ranging
    from "I/we've been through it" to more something more technical
    (the mother is a nurse).

    Can anyone recommend a bookstore in the Boston area that I could
    call or visit?

    Thanks,

    Sharon

    For technical books, the college and medical school book stores
    are probably your best bet.  The Harvard Coop has a wide selection
    of books for general readers.  Wordsworth in Cambridge is also very
    good. 
    
    One way to identify the books that are available is to consult the
    reference librarian at your public library.  Then you can look for the
    books in stores or have the stores order them for you. You can also
    call the Boston Public Library (617-536-5400) and get information over
    the phone.  Ask for Children's Reference (for books for the patient)
    and Humanities Reference.  They may also have a Medical Reference
    Department. 
    
    Good luck.
   

    Does anyone know of a good dermatologist in either the Maynard/Acton
    area (where I work) or the Leominster/Fitchburg area (where I'm
    currently living)?   (I don't care if it's a man or a woman.)
    
    I've never had occasion to need one before and have only been living
    in the Leominster area since January so I have no idea where to
    go.  I have a strange, slightly itchy, red rash which seems to be
    getting worse so....  My neck looks like it has about 15 hickeys
    on it, but that's not what it is :-).....

    Dr. George Wilgram (sorry, don't have his number handy).  He's located 
    in Concord near Emerson Hospital in the John Cumings medical building 
    (intersection of Rt 2 and Nine Acre Corner).  I think he also has an 
    office at Nashoba Hospital in Ayer one or two days a week so he's
    pretty close to both your home and work.   He is a wonderful older 
    gentleman that treats his patients with respect and caring, not like 
    cattle to be moved through in a hurry.  Skin problems can be difficult 
    to diagnose - I had been to several physicians and Dr. Wilgram was the 
    only one to take care of it.  He even sent a followup letter to my 
    regular doctor detailing what he found and the prescription given so my 
    records would be complete (he even sent me a copy) all around.  I was 
    impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

    re .20
    
	I would not have mentioned it here, but since his name has been
    mentioned, I feel I must comment.
    
    I, on the other hand, had an unfortunate encounter with Dr. Wilgram 
    last winter involving the diagnosis and treatment of a severe skin
    rash. I found him to be quite authoritarian and dismissive of any 
    information I tried to volunteer on the origins of the rash.  In my 
    opinion, he responded to my questions about his chosen treatment as if I
    was questioning his medical credentials.  I am not challenging his 
    expertise here, but I was very put off by his negative reaction to 
    my questions.
    
    My particular conflict (and rash) were cleared up by finding another
    physician.

    Re .22, would you mind saying who you finally went to to clear it
    up?
    
    Thanks,

    Model Mugging: Women's Self Defense and Empowerment
              Choosing Not to Be a Victim
    
    Model Mugging is a highly specialized training that teaches
    women effective self protection skills through learning
    how to deliver full-force knockout blows against a heavily
    padded, specially trained mock assailant (the "model mugger").
    The strategies and techniques are base on 16 years of extensive
    research into the most common methods tht muggers and sexual
    assailants (both strangers and acquaintances) actually use
    when assaulting women -- including the use of verbal intimidation
    and abuse.
    
    During a total of 24 hours of training, women learn to turn fear
    and panic into action, to recondition freezing and flailing 
    responses, and to use their voices and bodies to set boundaries
    and "stand their ground."  Highly trained female and male
    instructors with experience in martial arts, group facilitation,
    and counseling work as a team to provide a safe and supportive
    environment.  For women who have been physically or sexually
    violated, the course can expedite their recovery process and help
    them regain strength and dignity.  Over 6,000 women nationwide between
    the ages of 11 and 73, with varying degrees of physical abilities,
    who have taken the Model Mugging program report increased ability
    to recognize and make choices, set boundaries, resolve conflicts,
    and act confidently.

    I've just started reading "Letters to Ms.: 1972-1987" and discovered
    that the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College owns the collections
    of Letters to Ms.! Not only that, but I believe that the Digital
    Library has guest privileges at the S.L. So those of us who live near
    Boston can go to this library and study the collection. 
    
    A little about the book: It's edited by Mary Thom and published
    by Henry Holt in 1987. The letters are funny and sad, they speak
    of isolation and connectedness, and touch on nearly as many topics
    as the notes in this file. They speak of lifetime ambitions, sudden
    understandings, evolving relationships, and new ways of being. Highly
    recommended.
    
    Liz

    
    The Schlesinger Library of Women Studies is a research library
    (no take-out) and is, I believe, open to the public.  They've
    recently renovated their building (in Radcliffe Yard opposite
    Cambridge Common on Garden Street).  The collection also includes
    the Julia Child Room, a collection of some 5000 cookbooks.  
    
    I'll post hours and further details of the collection tomorrow.

    I'm looking for a feminist attorney in the Eastern Mass. area,
    preferably with experience or a specialty in sexual harrassment 
    cases.
    

    Is there anyone out there who are members of Heathsource, an HMO
    in NH, who could recommend a good doctor in the Manchester area?
     I'm very dissatisfied with my present one.  I need one who is in
    favor of psychiatric treatment, since I would like to resume therapy
    and the primary care physician acts as the gatekeeper.
    
    Also any good references for therapists in that area?
    
    Thx,

    Rather than   find   a   doctor  who  will  recommend  psychiatric
    treatment,  which  may  be hard to do, you might want to switch to
    Hancock  (er,  The  Digital  Medical  plan),  which covers a large
    fraction of the cost of psychiatric therapy.

Hi Liz

Here is the info I was talking about last night:

Radcliffe Career Services
10 Garden Street
Cambridge. MA  02138
(617)495-8631

Their brochure says that it is "for women in the greater Boston community".
They have workshops, individual counseling, a career resource library
and job listings.  If you call them they will mail you their brochures
right away.  I will probably use some of their services myself.

    there is a discussion in topic 507 of DES-informed ob/gyns in the
    Nashua, NH area.

though I've ordered a couple of those above this afternoon.  A
catalog is available from South End if you call 800-533-8478.  I
find them to be an excellent publisher.

    re .43
    
    I know lots about the book, since I was involved from the time 
    we conceived the idea.  Of course I think it is a landmark 
    contribution, and other superlatives.  It is certainly the first
    book that has described women's feelings about the significance of
    some everyday experiences.
    
    Back to facts.  I am a participant in the Theological Opportunities
    Program at Harvard Divinity School.  This is an ongoing group of
    women who explore issues in our own lives.  From our shared
    experience we draw themes for two lecture series per year.  Sacred
    Dimensions of Women's Experience was a lecture series that came out
    of discussions that for many women there are life experiences we
    find awesome and sacred, which are not recognized and honored by
    our religions.  Topics include giving birth, caregiving a failing 
    parent, creating a welcoming home, housework as meditation...

    The book consists of those lectures, plus additional essays we 
    invited authors to write, and one essay on our process as sacred
    - listening ourselves into speech.
    
    Roundtable Press is a small, privately owned business that publishes
    a few books on women's issues and the environment.

        An organization that I've been thinking for awhile I should let women
    in this file know about is Women Outdoors.  When I first moved to the
    Boston area 8 yrs ago, I stumbled upon WO, and it's been an important
    part of my community and my life ever since.  I've met some terrific
    friends and some really inspiring women in it, learned outdoor skills
    (like x-c skiing), and found it to be a *very* supportive atmosphere
    for stretching myself not only in outdoor activities, but especially
    in leadership skills.  This is not a bunch of "outdoor jocks"; the
    skill levels, abilities, and interests of members are definitely
    varied.  It's also an easy org for new people to feel welcome in; there
    are almost always other newcomers at any event.

    I should confess up front that I'm not in the least objective about
    this org.;  I've been on the Board of Directors for 7 years, as
    treasurer for 3 and then as president for 3.  I'm about to end my last
    term on the Board, but I'll continue to be involved in WO.

    WO is a national org., with 700 members, and 21 chapters (called regions) 
    in 13 states.  There is a greater concentration in the Northeast, where 
    WO was born.  

    Examples of trips and activities I've done with WO include camping,
    hiking, birding, a weekend biking trip on Martha's Vineyard,
    backpacking, skiing, canoeing, a new games day at the beach, and
    others.  A major annual event is the Gathering, for which I'll give info
    separately in a note in the Coming Events topic.  Every couple of
    months or so, each region meets to plan its calendar of activities. 
    All trips are led by WO members; it's a volunteer org.

    From the magazine (produced quarterly):

    " WO was incorporated in 1980 to provide a clearinghouse for women
    whose vocation or avocation lay in the outdoors.

    "With WO you can
    	- Develop your outdoor skills
    	- Expand your leadership potential
    	- Promote environmental awareness
    	- Join a group of women who share similar interests and goals.

    We are a "growing network of women who through the outdoors are
    building bridges between members of diverse outdoor skills, ages,
    lifestyles and cultures."

    "A WO membership entitles you to:
    	-Participate locally in day activities, weekend trips, slide shows,
    and meetings.
    	- Attend regional gatherings, workshops, skill building seminars,
    leadership training weekends and extended trips.
    	- Become a part of our national network of outdoor women, receive
    the quarterly WO magazine, become eligible for scholarships to
    participate in other organized activities,"..." and connect with other
    women."

    One more quote:

    "WO strives to create an atmosphere of trust, safety and respect for
    all women regardless of age, class, ethnicity, marital status, physical
    ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, or size.  We encourage
    each participant in WO to honor confidentiality and avoid making
    assumptions about others."

    If you want more info about WO, send mail to NATASH::MOORE.  Please
    provide your full home mailing address.  I'll send a brochure with
    membership application (membership is $15/yr), and a calendar of events
    if you're in the greater Boston region, or the name of the closest
    Regional Contact if you're not.

    I am still talking to my therapist from where I used to live because
    she is so wonderful.  We have worked on all the things you mentioned,
    and more other things than I ever dreamed of.  I do not suggest
    that you have a long-distance therapist, but perhaps she would be
    a good resource person to ask about therapists in your area.  Her
    name is Herta Payson, and her address is Marina Towers, 76 West
    Main St., Suite 314, Norwich, CT 06330.  She is a feminist and a
    psychotherapist.  I hope this information is satisfactory.  I would
    like to remain anonymous, please.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A friend of mine is offering a weekly egyptian-style belly-dance class in
Sudbury.  She needs a few honest, eager students who are looking to learn
the ART of the dance.  Also, those who are experienced and wish to brush
up on their techniques are welcome.

Please send me mail if you would like more information.

Take care,

    re: -1
    
    I took belly-dancing for several years, and it is really great!
    I took it both for the exercise and to "like my belly better!"
    It is a fantastic *female* experience as well as being fun,
    expressive, and artistic.  I tried to do research on it in
    the library, but there was little to be had.  What I did find,
    however, made me feel closer to the Middle Eastern women who
    performed (and perform) this dance.  I love going to party of people
    of a culture where belly dancing is accepted as a natural folk
    expression, done even by 4-year-olds and grandmothers -- and sometimes
    by male/female couples -- without any of our American "naughty"
    connotations!

The Women's Center in Cambridge can be a valuable resource for women

The Women's Center is open to all women, Monday-Thursday 10am-10pm,
Friday 10am-8pm (Coffeehouse 8pm-midnight), Saturday 11am-2pm.
1st floor wheelchair accessible.  46 Pleasant St, Cambridge,
617-354-8807 (TTY/voice).

The coffeehouse schedule for this month:

June 16: Mary Knapp sings original acoustic folk ballads

June 23: Musical evening with Eve Goodman

June 30: Robin Field sings blues & country music

There is a lesbian/gay helpline run by the Fenway Community Health 
Center that provides general info, referrals, and some telephone counselling.  
The number is 617-267-9001.  It is staffed Mon-Fri from 6 pm - 11 pm.

My local bookstore is located in Belmont, which the Globe calls "Boston's
most boring suburb."

Boring as it may, they have a separate section for "Recovery" books: books
for alcoholics, children of same, rape victims, incest survivors, etc.

I don't know if this means that "survivors" have "come out of the closet"
(something we've seen in Womannotes) and become a big enough market that 
the paperback publishers are targetting books, or whether it's a personal
action by one of the bookstore's employees.

The store is located in Belmont Center, down the block from Filene's and
Bildner's.  From Rt. 2, take Rt 60 (Pleasant St) South into Belmont, turning
left at the second stoplight (more-or-less one mile from Rt. 2)  They're at
Reading International, 43 Leonard, Belmont.

Martin.

Martin,

Thank you for posting the information about the bookstore in Belmont,
but I am very bothered by the way you worded the following:

> I don't know if this means that "survivors" have "come out of the
> closet" (something we've seen in Womannotes)

Maybe the truth hurts ... but though I feel some degree of shame for
both being raped and for some of the ways in which I am coping with its
side effects, I do not feel like I came out of a closet.

I spoke when I was ready.
                                                  nancy b.

re: .59:

Sorry, I meant "come out of the closet" as a positive response to
a traumatic experience: up until very recently, people did not
talk about being raped, beaten by their spouses, or abused as children.

The fact that enough books can be published to fill a rack in a
suburban bookstore -- and can apparently find customers who are
not embarrassed to hand a book on such a sensitive topic to a clerk
suggests that we are now willing to admit the existance of difficult
situations.

The fact that you (and Lee Tatistcheff) could write openly about what
happened to you in such a public forum may or may not have helped you
cope with the trauma, but I suspect it has helped others.

My apologies if my clumsy phrasing offended: that wasn't my intention.

Martin.

In note 737 I referred to an article from The CPSR Newsletter, Vol 5, No. 3,
Fall 1987. I no longer have that article. But it did make a lasting impression
on me (as you can see). Is anyone else out there a CPSR member and a packrat?

      From : "I Dream A World", National Geographic, July 1989
                         -Brian Lanker-

"My life for the past two years has been spent in the living rooms, 
offices, kitchens, and backyards of some of the finest people it
has ever been my privilege to encounter.  I have often been asked, 
Why this project?

Why document the lives of 75 black women?

It is the result of my own growing awareness of the vast contribution 
black women have made to this country and society, a contribution that
still seems to have gone largely unnoticed.  All the women have dreamed
of a world -- to borrow from the Langston Hughes poem - not only better
for themselves but for generations to come, a world where character and
ability matter, not color or gender.  

As they dreamed that world, they acted on those dreams, 
and they changed America."

Some of those profiled include:

o  Alice Walker, author of the Color Purple
o  Will Mae Ford Smith, mother of gospel music
o  Wilma Rudolph, winner of 3 gold medals (I didn't know she had polio,too)
o  Angela Yvonne Davis, political activist
o  Clara McBride Hale, whose Harlem apartment houses drug-addicted babies
o  Faye Wattleton, headed Planned Parenthood Federation of America
o  Alexa Canady, first black female neurosurgeon in U.S.

    Does anyone know of a group in the Boston area that provides support
    for families who suffer the loss of a child through illness?
    I think it's been mentioned in the file before.
    
    Thanks,
    Ann Marie

    this is off the top of my head, but, my memory comes up
    with something like 'the compassionate friends'.
    
    hope this is of some help
    
    Bonnie

    Yes, Compassionate Friends is an organization that supports
    parents who have lost a child.  
    
    It's not just lost through illness, however -- it includes parents
    of any child who died, no matter what age and no matter how.   The
    only person I know who's a member is a relative of a relative who
    lost a son in an Army helicopter accident several years ago.  She
    recommends it to anyone who has lost a child.

I've seen about half of these.  My recommendations are the three
Feminist academic journals, Connexions, Off Our Backs, Sinister
Wisdom, and Healthsharing.  Hypatia is interesting if you're into
Philosophy.  National Now Times gets the recommendation of some
close friends of mine for offering news of a feminist nature (and
Biweekly helps).

Also, Journals for which I do not have addresses, but think are
excellent - The Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion, and
Resources for Feminist Research (Canadian Based)  Both are rather
academic, but offer very important research and ideas.  One
particularly interesting article was in RFR about researching
Anti-feminist Women (I think it was fall 1988).

And of course there's Zeta, which is regularly carries articles of a
feminist nature, including a regular column by Bell Hooks entitled
"Sisters of the Yam."  (Incidently I would recommend everyone read
Bell Hooks _Feminist Theory From Margin to Center_ - It's
practically required reading for any of the Intro Women's Studies
Courses at Oberlin and one of the most resounding critiques of the
feminist movement I've ever seen).  Zeta has been mentioned here
before, and I add my praise to this truly excellent publication.

As a final note, there are a lot more feminist and alternative
publications than are listed here, or in the Alternative Press Index
for that matter, and I'm collecting a small database on what's
available.  At the moment it is still fairly small, but I have found
some interesting tidbits, like a Lesbian magazine from Yugoslavia,
and the two I listed here.  I would love to hear from people who
get, know of, publish, or run across alternative and radical
publications that aren't commonly known.  If anyone has any names
lying around, I'd love to hear from you.

Also, I don't have access to Usenet or the SOC.MOTS.Whatever, so if
someone could send me a list of what is available in the way of
echoes on Women's or other similar issues through those, I'd be most
grateful.  I know of a few lists similar to this - Sappho for
Lesbian/Bisexual women and another specificly for (and open only to)
Bisexual Women.

    The numbers with an exchange number ending in "2" are LIKELY
    (but not guaranteed) to be in-state-only numbers.  Unfortunately, it's
    often hard to tell until you try calling them from elsewhere.
    
    I note that the Nashua phone book has many Human Services numbers
    listed on pages 2 and 3.  Undoubtedly many other local phone books have
    similar information.

Monday's New York Times (Sept 23, 1989, pp B12) contains an article entitled
"Self-Help Abortion Movement Gains Momentum,"  byline Gina Kolata.
The article begins:

    Concerned that abortion rights may be curtailed by the courts
    or legislatures, scores of self-help groups around the
    country are teaching women how to perform abortions on
    thmeselves and each other.

It's too long to type in;  if you are interested but cannot 
locate a copy, i will make it available to you, but will not use 
DEC intra-office mail...


The article lists the following resources:

Videotape,  _No Turning Back_  which explains how to perform a suction
abortion,  produced by  Federation of Feminist Health Centers

Book  _When Birth Control Fails_  by Ms. Gage, 1979, Speculum Press,

article in Outlook, September 1989 on methods of self-help abortion

Book  _The Complete Cervical Cap Guide_ by Rebecca Chalker, 1987,
Harper & Row, contains a section on menstrual extraction.

RE -.1
    
        I saw an item on the news the other night where the medical community
    and NOW (I think it was them) were very much opposed to this Video
    (assuming it was the some one as in the news report) for medical
    reasons.
    

    re .76:
    
    The article talks about the opposition;  the procedure is
    not without controversy...
    
    One of the motives behind the movement is that "many women
    feel they should be prepared 'if the lid comes down,'"
    a reference to restrictions that may take effect as a result
    of the recent Supreme Court decision.
    
    As this is the resources note, i think any discussion should take
    place in a different note...

    I think I beat you to it Cathy.  The Rosie T-shirt is on page 12 and
    is #15108 ($14.00); sweatshirt is #15109 ($24.00).  They also offer
    a mug (10 oz. capacity, microwave and dishwasher safe), #15536 ($8.95).
    Damn this stuff is expensive!

    The picture is of a palm tree with multicolored fronds, mostly blue 
    and green with some yellow and pink; pastel-ly, not garish.  The 
    trunk of the tree is also painted with many colors.  Around the tree,
    flying in the air -- like laundry caught in a breeze (this looks a 
    little strange to me) -- are the women, holding hands.  Around all of
    this are flecks of color, maybe like feathers.  Beneath the picture 
    is the phrase in black: "If you believe in Woman hold my hand," with 
    initial caps on If and Woman.

    _serious_ group dynamics problems.

    There's a very fine, hole-in-the-wall bookstore in Nashua which
    specializes in books and pamphlets for those who are healing from a
    myriad of modern and ancient maladies:  alcoholism, drug addiction,
    sexual assault, spousal abuse, divorce, etc.  The name of the store is
    "Reflections", and it is open from Tuesday thru Saturday at the corner
    of South Main and Allds (approx 1 block south of Simoneau Plaza).  Call
    for hours: (603) 880-9244 ... proprietor is Denise. Large stock;
    special orders.

I don't know if it has been mentioned in here before, but I finally got
to Glad Day Books, in Boston, and I highly recommend it.

It is primarily a "Gay and Lesbian" bookstore, but it also has a *lot* of
women's studies and Feminist type books.  (You know the "Women's Studies"
section in Waldenbooks that has all of 10 or 15 titles?  This has more like
100 or 150.)  I didn't get to spend too much time there, but long enough
to peruse "Women's History of Sex", "Women's Myths and Other Secrets" (or 
something like that), "Drawing Down the Moon", and "A Womb with a View"...

Also, in some other note, someone was asking where they can rent some of
the "Feminist Erotica" mentioned in another note.  They rent some of them
at Glad Day Books.  Only Lesbian films, as far as I can tell, but if that
interests you, they have a couple by Fatale Films (one of the film companies
mentioned in the note on feminist erotica) and others.  They also rent
gay male videos (for those who care) and a good selection of non-erotic
"Classic Gay and Lesbian Films" such as Torch-song Trilogy (*plug*: one of
the best movies I have *ever* seen), Desert Hearts, The COlor Purple, etc.

The also carry pins, cards, posters, etc...

Anyway, go there, check it out, it's a neat place:

    I don't have the exact address, but her office is at the junction 
    of Rte. 111 and Stow Rd.  My SO has engaged her services to help 
    with house-buying.  We've heard she also handles divorces.

                  Compulsive eating is a feminist issue??  
                             You bet it is!
                    9-week group for compulsive eaters
    
    It's no accident that most people who alternately binge and starve
    themselves are women...
    
    This group is for women willing to consider the idea that your eating
    habits and your feelings about your body have a whole lot to do with
    the ideas you've been "fed" about how women are supposed to be.
    
    We'll share experiences, do meditation and visualization to discover
    deep feelings about eating, do some writing exercises to help get in
    touch with the true woman within, and liberate her from compulsive
    eating.
    
    Group begins Thursday, April 19th.  Screening interviews begin now.
    
    Insurance accepted/sliding scale for nine week group from $405-$270.
