1936-09: (Older Than Feminism — This Practice of Mothering Care Work and Attention to History That Perez Practiced Toward Her Niece and Printed in the Periodical Being as Alexis Pauline Gumbs Might Say “Older Than Feminism — It Was Older and More Futuristic Than the Category ‘Woman,'” Perez “Amplifying the Nuances of Practices That Have Existed as Long as There Have Been People of Different Ages with Different Superpowers Invested in Each Other’s Existence”): This practice of mothering, care work, and attention to history that Perez practiced toward her niece and printed in the periodical was, as Alexis Pauline Gumbs might say, older than feminism — it was older and more futuristic than the category “woman.” Perez was amplifying the nuances of practices that have existed as long as there have been people of different ages with different superpowers invested in each other’s existence — the LFAS’s most radical contribution was not a political platform but a way of caring across time, a technology of intergenerational transmission that preceded and would outlast any organization.
