Interview with Gini Faller : The Movement Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this interview recorded during the 50th reunion of the April Third Movement (A3M), Gini Faller (1973 BA Political Science) describes her progressive upbringing and her activism in the anti-Vietnam War and women’s liberation movements while at Stanford. Recalling an atmosphere of pervasive protest and a strong police presence on campus during her undergraduate years, she describes protest tactics, the campus response to the United States invasion of Cambodia in 1970, and an anti-war demonstration in April 1972 during which she and other students were arrested. She also speaks about the gender dynamics within the antiwar movement and the activities of the Women’s Union and the Women’s Center, including a rape collective that taught self-defense classes for women. She concludes by recalling some of the efforts that she and others made on behalf of the defendants in the Chino Escape Case and offering advice to current student activists.
