Effort To Start Women's Lib Project
At San Francisco Center A Flop
By Ben Gallob
A woman volunteer at the
San Francisco Jewish Commun
ity Center has reported that her
effort to start a women’s lib
eration project at the center,
pursued intensively last summer
and fall, was a flop. But she

still convinced that “there are
many reasons why such a pro
gram should be started at cen
ters around the country.”
The experience was reported
in the current issue of Jewish
Community Center Program
Aids, a publication of the Na
tional Jewish Welfare Board.
The report was preceded by an
editor’s note that a reader of
the publication had asserted
that “women’s lib” had no
chance in the typical Jewish
Center because the centers
“have such a large percentage
of male directors.” According to
the editor, that reader reported
that during the last three
months, “three Jewish women’s
groups in her community dis
cussed Jewish women and wom
en’s emancipation, but none of
the groups were connected with
the center” in that community,
which was not identified in the
editor’s note.
“Lest this male editor be
charged with male chauvinism
or sexism, he asked the San
Francisco Jewish Community
Center to report on the Women’s
Liberation program they institu
ted last year” which was started
by a volunteer leader, “in the
hope that in time it would be
come part of the regular Adult
Program and receive paid staff
support,” the editor reported.
The volunteer, who was not
identified in the report, said the
experience began when she of
fered last fall to start a “rap”
group at the center, open to the
general public as well as to cen
ter members, as the hoped-for
start of a women’s liberation
group at the center. She repor
ted that the purpose of the
“rap” group was to allow people
to discuss the issues currently
espoused by the Women’s Liber
ation movement. Eight weekly
sessions were held, each focus
sed on a specific topic such as
women and economics, women
and psychology and similar top
ics. She reported that each ses
sion was well attended but that
“we were not able to develop
continuity.” The group failed to
achieve the goal of “serving as a
base for a larger on-going
program at the center.”
Undaunted, the volunteer pro
ceeded with plans for a study
group in the fall which she
hoped would “supply the struc
ture and continuity needed. The
course had publicity but there
was no significant registration.”
Evaluating the reasons for the
lack of interest, the volunteer
cited four key problems.. These
were that the center was “not
known as a place where people
take intensive courses;" that
university extension credit was
not given to participants; that
the Women’s Liberation pro
gram “is already centered else
where in our community;” and
that the Women’s Liberation
movement “is essentially a po
