The Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance (ALFA) (1972 - 1994) was founded by a group of feminist radical lesbians who broke away from the Atlanta’s Women’s Liberation Center and the Gay Liberation movement as they felt that neither had adequately addressed their concerns. ALFA is one of the oldest lesbian feminist organizations in the United States. ALFA's monthly newsletter was the Atalanta. The organization also built and maintained the Southern Feminist Library and Archives (SFLA) to include archival records of ALFA and other southern feminist groups plus feminist, lesbian and activist periodicals. They also had a circulating library of books. The archival collections and a large portion of the periodicals collection is now held at the David M. Rubenstein Rare Books & Manuscript Library as part of the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture. Books relating to feminist theory are now held by Emory University. [1]
