A message from the conference organizer, Lee Novick, now Rabbi Leah Novick….

Written By Diana Mara Henry

“Houston was the overture to the great symphony of American feminism in the 20th century.

That theme has been playing out in the Congress, the State governments and the Supreme Court.

It is apparent in the media, sports, law, academia. religion and our economic life.

The genius of Congresswoman Bella Abzug and the devoted IWY commissioners was in stimulating the activism of

thousands and beyond. The women of today are anchoring in the progress launched in Houston, despite setbacks.

Thank you.” Rabbi Leah Novick, https://www.rabbileah.com/
