Since the publication of LILITH’s first issue in 1976, our goal has been to present what we called in the editorial of that premier issue a “smorgasbord” of articles (such a woman’s image of setting out a groaning board of food!). In the issue you are holding now, which marks LILITH’s Bat Mitzvah year, we found ourselves with articles more political in orientation than ever before. The smorgasbord, at least right now, looks a little different — with somewhat different flavors — than it has in the past.
