San Diego Woman's Haggadah, edited by Jane Sprague Zones. [San Diego]: Woman's institute for continuing Jewish education, 1980. English and some Hebrew.
Non-traditional Haggadah, in the spirit of the Feminist movement: the ten Plagues of Jewish women, a poem describing the work women are supposed to do on Passover, the story of the Exodus whose heroes are women (the midwives Shifra and Puah, Miriam the prophet, Yocheved) and more. With many illustrations.
The Woman's institute for continuing Jewish education operated in San Diego during the years 1977-2004. It published a collection of women's Midrashim and feminist adaptations of various texts from Jewish tradition. The San Diego Women's Haggadah is considered the first feminist version of the Passover Haggadah.
