Interview with Jamie Zimron : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Jamie Zimron (AB Social Science, 1977) talks about her family background and shares memories of student life, athletics, and academics during the mid-1970s, including the Jewish community and the small lesbian community at Stanford. She describes the Gay People’s Union at the Old Firetruck House but identifies the Bridge Counseling Center, a women’s coffeehouse in Menlo Park, and the L’s baseball team as key sites of community building. She recalls living in Ecology House, playing on the women’s golf team, working in Israel after the Yom Kippur War, and taking a class from visiting professor Angela Davis. Zimron also describes her introduction to Aikido while at Stanford, as well her work as an instructor and builder of institutions for the discipline, placing it within the context of the feminism and the women’s martial arts/women’s self-defense movement.
