Women Against Imperialism
Women Against Imperialism was a grassroots, feminist, anti-imperialist solidarity organization formed in San Francisco in 1981. The group’s founders comprised the women’s caucus of the Bay Area chapter of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee. A small, local organization whose members also worked with a range of other anti-prison, feminist, international solidarity, LGBT, and anti-war organizations, Women Against Imperialism’s work primarily consisted of direct action organizing, political education activities, and internal political study. Primary areas of focus included women political prisoners; sex trade and trafficking; international solidarity (Central America; Palestine; Philippines; Puerto Rico; South Africa); militarism; and reproductive justice. One of the group’s most consistent projects was co-organizing an annual International Women’s Day march in San Francisco (1983-1996).
The Women Against Imperialism collection documents the group’s activities in the 1980s and early 1990s. The collection contains newsletters, event flyers, and other material from a variety of local, regional, and national anti-prison, international solidarity, anti-militarism, feminist, and LGBT groups. Records include flyers, brochures, newsletters, periodicals, press releases, articles, information packets, and photographs.
