Welcome to A Simple Revolution, an online community forum for Judy Grahn's
upcoming memoir, A Simple Revolution. An internationally recognized
poet, writer, and social theorist, Judy is working on a memoir about
the Bay Area lesbian movement of the turbulent '60s and '70s that weaves
her own stories with those of other feminist lesbian activists and comrades
such as Pat Parker and Audre Lorde. Judy's most recent post (see
below) offers a glimpse of those revolutionary times. A Simple Revolution
hopes to generate community dialogue about the history
and legacy of the Bay Area lesbian movement.
We invite anyone interested in this topic to contribute
to the community forum and submit your own story—
whether or not you were participating in the
Bay Area lesbian movement in the 60s and 70s.
Thanks for visiting—we hope you'll stay awhile!
