A dynamic exploration of the Califia Community, a long-running Los Angeles based grassroots alternative education group formed in the mid-1970s, whose richly diverse membership offered a compelling array of responses to feminism's key issues.

Launched in 1975, the Califia Community organized activist educational camps and other programs in southern California until its dissolution in 1987. An alternative to mainstream academia's attempts to tie feminism to university courses, Califia blended aspects of feminism that spanned the labels second wave and radical, attracting women from a range of gender expressions, sexual orientations, class backgrounds, and races or ethnicities. Califia Women captures the history of the organization through oral history interviews, archives, and other forms of primary research. The result is a lens for re-reading trends in feminist and social justice activism of the time period, contextualized against a growing conservative backlash.
