Brenda and Wanda Henson, Camp Sister Spirit: In the Homophobic Crossfire ....women who built a feminist education center on their land in rural Mississippi in 1993. In reponse to their actions, local conservatives whipped up anti-lesbian hysteria and some 70 hate crimes followed. The Hensons, who are not newcomers to social change, had been operating a food and clothes bank, adult literacy programs, counseling and referral services and had produced the Gulf Coast Womyn's Festival. Their mission, to bring feminist education and community-based services to women in rural Mississippi, has made them the target of the religious right. Now they are on speaking tours to rasie funds to file a federal lawsuit that would extend civil rights law to gays and lesbians.
