An icon, a tough woman, and a mother of the Lesbian community has died. For those who knew her knows what I am talking about... The impact of Naiad Press on our community was profound ... Although totally formulaic, the fact that she picked up lesbian novels (and authors) from the 50's and 60's and mass market them...

If you don't know who she is then I would do some reading. Our community would not be where we are if she hadn't had the courage to bring to market the books she did...
