National Women's Conference

International Women's Year, IWY
November 18-21, 1977

During November 18-21, 1977, a huge conference was held in Houston, with about 20,000 attending.
By no means do I claim to be representing all the information or various points of view, however
I do hope this page gives a resource for study, in the following articles from several lesbian publications.
Also, see this Wiki reference, which interestingly never contains the word "lesbian."

In November 2017 a symposium was held at U of H commemorating the
1977 National Women's Conference, and Andrew Edmonson wrote two
excellent articles on that landmark event, for Outsmart and the Houston Chronicle.

Find them on the next page.

And on 11/6/17 Pokey Anderson was interviewed on the
KPFT Show Queer Voices by Jack Valinski, 19 min.
