Title from film container. Recording of conversation between Ann Roy and possibly Margaret Fielder, likely discussing the 1975 World Conference on Women and/or the International Women’s Year Tribune in Mexico City. They reflect on conflict among Latin American women - or the perception of conflict as covered in the media - and a press conference organized to express solidarity among feminist groups, which was disrupted by Spanish-speaking protesters. Tape cuts around 14:00 to Ann and Margaret discussing difficulties in communication between them, and issues of white American feminists as "cultural imperialists" in Latin America. They return to discussing disrupted speeches at a "Journalist Encounter" attended by Roy, where a group of young women, led by a man, shouted down a Greek woman for speaking English. Ann recounts working with other women after the event to draft a statement of healing and togetherness. Audio is often difficult to hear. See also 41-09, "Ann and Margaret."
