Elizabeth Farians Co-Founder of the National Organization For Women at 2009 Animal Rights Conference

Elizabeth Farians, Co-Founder of the National Organization For Women speaks at the 2009 Animal Rights Conference in Los Angeles. For the past forty years, Elizabeth Farians has been engaged in a tireless fight against discrimination in religion. Farians attended the first graduate program in theology for women at Saint Mary's College-Notre Dame and with her doctorate was destined to be a pioneer woman theologian. In 1966, she integrated the then all-male Catholic Theological Society, but they threatened to have her arrested if she tried to attend the annual meeting. Farians began writing and speaking out against misogyny and discrimination in the religious arena, and as a NOW founder she chaired the first NOW Task Force on Women and Religion. Farians rallied hard (and with considerable success) to get religious groups to support the Equal Rights Amendment. She testified in both the House and Senate that the ERA was compatible with religion. She is a co-founder of "Catholics for the ERA" and "Catholics for Choice." Farians lives in Ohio and is also an advocate for animal rights.
