When people think of Mills College in the Bay Area, they often think of a feminist/queer mecca where students are encouraged to express themselves and stand up for what they believe in with little or no penalties or hindrance. As students, we look back to the 90’s, when Mills women stood up against the administration to protect our women’s only school and won. One would expect that with this history and environment a student initiative to open a women’s health resource center on campus would be a breeze…however, we found that it was anything but free of retaliation and roadblocks.
