Though the San Diego Women's Hagadah (1980) is generally credited with being the "First Separate Publication of a Women's Hagadah," this "Experimental" Hagadah, produced by the Task Force on Equality of Women in Judaism, from the same year, clearly can claim the ttle as well.
“A restructured haggadah, which includes portrayals of several Jewish women important in the Exodus story, was recently produced by the Task Force on Equality of Women in Judaism, of the New York Federation of Reform Synagogues, a branch of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations…The purpose of the haggadah is to encourage family members to share equally in the Passover experience. Women are urged to lead the Seder, while men are encouraged to clean the house and prepare the Passover meal…
…The Task Force, composed of Reform Jewish women, was established to assess the needs of women and to transform their demands for equality within Judaism into reality. In addition to the Haggadah, the Task Force has produced a glossary of non-sexist terminology for the High Holy Days. It has also issued a commentary on the Ten Commandments and the Book of Ruth, and has developed a consciousness-raising program for synagogues.” (Lilith Magazine)
