Feminist Women's Health Center

Founded in Atlanta, Ga., in 1976 by a group of women dissatisfied with the health care options and information available to them and who desired to change this situation. A clinic started in 1977, with self-help groups where women were able to learn from each other and themselves through open discussions. It expanded to offer a full range of clinical services (including providing access to birth control and contraception, abortion, donor insemination, and pregnancy care) as well as educational, outreach, and advocacy programs, addressing subjects such as sexual hygiene, sex, and sexually transmitted diseases.
