Summary:

Judy Freespirit (Judith Louise Berkowitz Ackerman) was an activist, writer, and performer, focused on the subjects of women, lesbians, Jewish culture, fat acceptance, disability rights, and incest survival. Freespirit was of the earliest members of the fat acceptance movement, as coauthor (with Vivian Mayer) of the 1973 Fat Liberation Manifesto, and later a performer with Fat Chance and Fat Lip Reader's Theater. She is the author of four books: Daddy's Girl, Keeping it in the Family, Whole Lotta Quakin' Goin' On, and A Slim Volume of Fat Poems. The collection includes manuscripts, journals, and subject files on various activist, therapeutic, and religious topics. There are also ephemera, such as t-shirts, buttons and photographs.
