[Wamvan] Introductions?

[Frieda Werden]

Hi, I'm Frieda Werden.  I work part-time at CJSF-FM, the campus-community
radio station at Simon Fraser University, as the Spoken Word/Public Affairs
Coordinator.  I also produce the syndicated weekly radio program WINGS:
Women's International News Gathering Service.  I co-founded WINGS almost 27
years ago.  I became involved in the women's movement in 1969, and have
followed many developments.  It's a highlight of my life to sit around and
talk about and do feminist things, as a group of WAMmers did last Monday
night.
