Scope and Contents
This oral history consists of seven digital videos created by Dale McCormick, Aaron Silander, and Jill Jack. The videos are each a few minutes long. The participants variously interview one another or tell stories individually. The videos were recorded just prior to the 2017 Iowa City Feminist Reunion.
Two videos feature the participants promoting the reunion and its oral history programming. Two videos feature McCormick and Silander discussing a cartoon Silander created for the Ain't I a Woman feminist newspaper published in Iowa City in the early 1970s; the two videos are very similar, with one conducted in front of a blue screen. One video features Jack discussing a bomb threat against the Emma Goldman Clinic in the late 1970s and the feminist community's response. One video features McCormick and Jack discussing the DIY culture of the Iowa City feminist community. One video features McCormick describing how her business Bidet Plumbing got its name.
