Background: Jenifer Maroon, coordinator of the D.C. Lesbian Avengers, has been involved with women’s rights since college. Today, Maroon says things have changed: “There is a new generation of feminists out there.” In order to bridge the gap between generations she says the group must take a slightly different approach to activism. “We are trying to make a point, have fun with it and not be too preachy,” Maroon says. “While we deal with some serious issues the solutions can be fun.”
