7 Arts CORE

This is a photo of 7 Arts CORE member Alix Kates Shulman. Originally brought into the group by her friends Lloyd and Barbara Richards, she believes she was the one who originally suggested they be called 7 Arts CORE. She had been around CORE as early as the late 1950's and participated in the Woolworth's demonstrations.
An anti-war activist, she was also a member of the New York Radical Feminists (along with New York CORE members Susan Brownmiller and Lucy Komisar).
She went on to become an influential writer in the Women's Liberation Movement with her essay, "A Marriage Agreement". Her first novel, "Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen" is noted as being one of the first to come out of the Women's Liberation Movement.
