These mp3 audio files were made from archival voice recordings of important events in fat liberation herstory.
For more information, see
Fat Feminist Herstory.
In April, 1980, 17 fat women from around the U.S. converged in New Haven, Connecticut,
for the first fat feminist activist working meeting. A day of workshops, networking, and mutual support was followed
by an evening of fat women's culture-sharing. Recordings of the Fat Patrol's Greatest Hits are from this event.
The day after the working meeting, 5 members of the coalition self-designated
F.A.T. (Fat Activists Together) gave a keynote panel address at a feminist health fair being held concurrently
in New Haven. This was the first such address at a feminist event by fat feminists. Recordings of the F.A.T. Panel
are from this event.
