BOISE, Idaho â An all female production crew is working on a documentary telling the story of The Boise 7 .
In 1977, seven women were fired from the Boise Police Department for suspected lesbianism â Mary Morris, Janine Townsend, Lavonne Woody, Vardell Laursen, Judith Baker, Theresa Silva, and Sue Krohn. The firing came following an internal investigation where the seven were wire tapped on a telephone used for personal conversations. The wire tap was later ruled illegal by a judge.
