Asian American women's movement.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62097485

Presents the oral histories of three women activists in the Los Angeles Asian American women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s and one of their close male allies. These activists focused their political work in grass roots community programs. They developed one of the first multi-0media interactive presentations on the Asian women's movement, which was performed along the West Coast, and founded the first Asian Women' Center in the U.S. They collaborated in other social movement struggles and, despite ongoing struggles with the men in the larger Asian American movement, the women activists remained committed to and involved in that broader movement.
