豆知識
- The Lesbian Herstory Archives, which she co-founded in 1974, began in the pantry of the apartment she shared with a partner.
- She began writing fiction in 1978; her erotic focus on butch-femme relationships provoked controversy during the feminist sex wars of the 1980s.
- Now lives in Australia with partner Dianne Otto (law professor at the University of Melbourne) and has taught there.
