Unaffiliated source[edit]

There is currently a tag at the top of the article stating that it relies on sources affiliated with Dashu, and should also cite independent reliable sources on the subject. Here's an excerpt from Barbara J. Love's book Feminists Who Changed America, 1963–1975 (University of Illinois Press, 2006):

"Dashu, Max (1950 –) (also known as Max Hammond) An independent scholar, Dashu founded the Suppressed Histories Archives, a global women's history project, in 1970. She built and archive of some 14,000 slides. In 1973, Dashu began teaching women's history in feminist bookstores, coffeehouses and women's centers. From 1980 forward, she has presented hundreds of slide talks at universities, community centers, and other venues around the U.S., as well as Canada and Mexico. In 2000, Dashu created the Suppressed Histories Web site, which includes excerpts from an unpublished sourcebook, The Secret History of the Witches. In addition to this historical work, Dashu helped form the first women's center in Cambridge, as well as pagan women's circles (1971 -1972). On the West Coast, Dashu worked on the Inez Garcia defense committee (1976) and the Household Worker's Rights organization (early 1980s). A founding mother of the pagan goddess resurgence, she is author of Witch Dream Comix (1975). She also acted as historical consultant for the San Francisco Women's Building mural (1994). As an artist, Dashu created covers for feminist magazines, and feminist logos and posters."

This should be helpful. I note a number of sources put an accent on the U in her name: Max Dashú. Something to consider in the article, if it is correct. Also, one source calls her Maxine (Max) Dashu. Fuzzypeg ★ 21:06, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Views on transwomen[edit]

An edit that was altered used source material. If you care to dispute that source or reinterpret it , fine. What you will not do is classify it as "commentary" and cite rules that dont apply. Max Dashu is a transphobic, gender critical, trans exclusionary radical feminist, whatever you want to call it .It has altered her work, it has altered her venues. Trying to exclude it does nothing for anyone.104.34.202.79 (talk) 16:29, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
