“When you talked about feminism in those days, they couldn’t understand what it was all about. They thought it was Communism.”
--Siew Hwa Beh, Co-founder and editor, Women & Film magazine—the first women’s film organization in the US (1970’s).

"Camerawomen..are often in token numbers... And they fear asserting their right to be free of sex discrimination, because they fear being retaliated against because they have stood up for themselves. One of the ways we can change that is for women to organize, to form women's caucuses on the job where they can act as a group, and find ways to support each other as they attempt to solve those problems."
-- Gloria Allred, Esq. (Los Angeles)
