Thank you Kobi for posting this:
"A Letter About Dying, to My LGBT Communities
by Jeanne Cordova, September 23, 2015"
As someone that came out in the late 70's and also has read all of her books; I feel as though I know her.
This makes me profoundly sad.
The "old timers" are dying out and the younger lesbians will never know the early days of marches, protests and sisterhood in the same way.
I recently found an old picture of my first women's festival in the early 80's. There were so many bare-breasted women surounding a drumming circle- I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Jeanne was one of many women that preceded me and made it easier for me to come out as a lesbian. I have never regretted doing so.
If you have not read her third book, "When we were Outlaws", you will love it.
Bye to Jeanne,
from another resident of Lesbian Nation.
