We need to communicat to each other as raptilly, accurately and fully as possible in order to.change the conditions of our lives. We are proud Old delAghted_ to find, in lookipg over the'contents of these films, that their enormo/us variety proves what we knew all along: there is nothing that women aren't involved in, historically or cross - culturally. This isovisible both,in.the Ulms about , . women by Womiii, men and organizations, and also in the myriad interests of the female ,filmmakers themselves. 4 The Women's History Research Center is particulary grateful to those of its Library , staff wofking directly in .the film projectr Anne Bishop, Chrkistine Cunningham, Hope Friedman, Janet Kahn, Labra King, Carolyn Pang; and4so Kelley Camp, Sharon HileMan: and Carol Rank of the Women's Periodicals Deparqment, who clipped the leads which Helen Dutton, Esther Gabriel, ;fee Sen Lee and Laura X organized and distributed.
