Quiz: Know Your New York City Feminism

June 23, 2010 by Kate Noftsinger · 1 Comment 

June’s Feminist Summer Camp in New York City has come and gone (tear) and it’s time to reflect on what we learned. As you remember, Ms. introduced everyone to camper Sara Myles and her blog documenting her exciting week-long experience. Leaders Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards led campers on a fantastic feminist voyage across the city that included a trip to our friend the Ms. Foundation (the country’s first women’s fund, founded in 1972 by Ms. editors!) Other stops included a workshop with the Guerrilla Girls, countless organizations and even a sex shop.
