Radical women's conference May 15-17

By L.W.C.

The Cleveland women's community has blossomed and grown since the first Cleveland Radical Feminist/Lesbian Conference in November, 1975. In the five years of our collective "coming of age," the community has created and supported such

institutions as Oven Productions, the Women's Growth Cooperative, the Three of Cups and a women's coffeehouse.

Despite our achievements, we are still faced with the issues of survival of our community. Our need for clear analysis and planning is paramount, particularly in

view of the conservative political mood of the city and country. For this reason, a group of area women is planning another Conference for Radical Women, to be held May 15-17 at Camp Yakewi in Austinburg, Ohio.

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of our plan-

ning is sharing the vision of a woman-defined future for ourselves and the next generation. Too often, our work leaves us with no time or energy to nourish a feminist vision. For this conference, we ask participants to "suspend disbelief" for a few days and dare to think about the ideal community for Cleveland women and its potential impact on the world. We will ask each woman to write down her highest aspirations for herself and all women to share at a group session the final day of the conference.

Daytime Saturday will be devoted to workshops on health and healing, women's houses, economic empowerment for women, chemical dependency. radical feminism, land, fat liberation, lesbian unity, issues around work, battered women, spiritual-

ity, women's music and culture, ecology, social spaces, women against pornography, and feminist media.

Participants will have time to relax and socialize at a coffeehouse Friday night and a campfire Saturday night.

Cost of the conference is $30 per woman in advance and $35 at the door. The price includes all meals, which will be gourmet vegetarian. Child care is available. Advance registration and child care arrangements will be accepted through May 1. Include a check or money order made out to Feminist Conference and send to Feminist Conference, c/o 2953 Berkshire Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118.
