Ciao non capisco l'inglese sonno sicuro che quello che dici sia importante ( volevo dirti che sei bellissima ciao baci💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🌹
Rae in the name game is an interesting choice . But I goota get to work;as they say daylights wasting !
Irena is the Clarence Thomas, Caitlyn Jenner and West of the Jewish community. Complicit in hate to the community and full of self superiority.
Such beautiful writings and topic. Thank you!
Any stories about Valentine?
No
WOW... I am getting so old. I remember Judy when she published Edward the Dyke...! I am watching this from Southern Mexico where I now live... after traveling to 42 countries.
Totally loved this! So happy to see this new volume THA and hear from all the contributors. Judy, you're looking so fine and your words, as always, inspire me to continue to write and develop my craft. Love you, my dear friend.
Very nice Judy. Thank you.
Judy seems you have improved with age. Enjoying your reading very much. Love what Pat Parker wrote to Audrey. Best to you and good health.
7:48pm I sent Sappho’s poetry to Joan Wikler. She was very impressed by it. Think it changed her life.
Men can't be Lesbians.
im a woman im not a lesbian but pansexual hope thats ok?
What an appropriate moniker this channel has.
💜
Wonderful tribute. ❤
Thank you for this beautiful memorial
Enjoyed this. Thank you.
I am a Jewish Bi man, it a candle Jews light to remember loved ones that passed away.
Thank you for FINALLY centering an ACTUAL Lesbian! It's about time!
Hi Julie, this is FABULOUS! Thanks you so much for making this video and for all the work you do. I look forward to being with you as often as possible. Peace and many blessings to you, always.
don't know how i got here or what this is, but keep up the great work <3
Thanks fir the song and memories. I saw your post in LC March 23 issue. Good words and voive
Such beautiful and powerful words. I hope Minnie Bruce is able to find comfort, love, and company after the passing of her beloved. She seems like such a lovely person who deserves to be surrounded by love while grieving
I thought this was about Lesbian visual arts?
And indeed it is! I hope you enjoy it. Julie at Sinister Wisdom
And what has happened to all this art now that Rainbow has passed???
Hi, Pelican, My understanding is that Rose and some other folks who knew Rainbow are working to preserve the art and papers.
I've just found and watched The Gentleman Bank Robber on vimeo. Thank you so much for making this documentary! It's a document! The founder of Out Of Control. I salute Rita Bo Brown, a lovable robber with a big heart for women.
I feel so blessed to have witnessed this amazing webinar! Thank you Sinister Wisdom for getting these heroines of lesbian publishing together and on screen. Naiad Press was important to me throughout my early lesbian feminist life in the last century in W. Europe. The feminist book market was quite focused on US publishing until the Dutch feminists started their own press releases. I had the pleasure of meeting the editors of Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence, Nancy Manahan & Rosemary Keefe Curb when they courageously took their book on tour. I met them in the Netherlands which was a bit of breathing space for them because in my 'progressive' country this book was welcomed and very well received. Through them I heard of Barbara Greer too and her pioneering publishing work. My heart is jumping for joy to see my 'erased' lesbian past come to life again. What a week it has been! Carolyn Gage presenting the reading of the letter exchange between Georgia O'Keefe and The Butch (Maria Chabot) which was an absolute delight, and Cris Williamson with her sell out and live streamed concerts performing her album The Changer and the Changed. It's almost like the good old lesbian feminist times are back again. This is very healing for me in my sometimes deep despair. And last but not least, do not forget we have a fabulous surviving and thriving lesbian press here in Australia where I've lived for 35 years, Spinifex Press, 30+ years and still going strong! Renate Klein and Susan Hawthorne are keeping the lesbian feminist flame alive. As Cris sang; Filling Up and Spilling Over! 💞Margo in Melbourne.
And not to forget, here in Melbourne we still have Long Breast Press Publishing, and Dyke Books too!
Beautiful wise lesbian, Irena Irenoushka Klepfisz -- so moving to watch and listen from a winter night in Belgrade fillled with sisterlove from Julie E. & Irena K.
Joan Thank you Joan You and your fine colleagues honoured us all in our writerly love and strength through our adversity and joy and you showed your scars as a badge of strength and solidarity with the power and tenacious joy of our bodies. Love to you Janetx
I am so glad to see this on YT
I believe I been kind of political prisoner in secure hospital where they kept me 5 years despite sound mental health and my disputes about some subject been valid reason for detention lol I survived
Wow, that's criminal! I'm sure psychiatry in the past had a high percentage of women being locked away for political reasons. The worst oppression ever!
Fantastic! love this!
A beautiful heartfelt tribute to a visionary of wit, language and integrity! Your life lives on.
Thank you!! Very lovely display of the range of Elana and her community and her literary scope. We will miss her, and I will miss seeing her around the 'hood, with Alice her dear poodle, on Winthrope Street in Oakland, CA. Peace and blessings! -- Giovanna Capone
Wonderful tribute!!😍
Beautiful tribute.
So sad that so many of our Feminist Bookstores have closed.....I always appreciated them, went to readings there, gave some readings there, and of course supported them buying books from them....sigh... And loving the readings....will refrain from commenting on then individually.....Hooray for Feminist writers!!
And so sorry to hear about the loss of Shewolf......she was AWESOME>>>>>>>never met her in person but admired her from afar.
And oh, it's wonderful to meet you in person Julie Ensler......I'm so thankful for all you do for Sinister Wisdom.....
Hi I tried to join your live event today..6/21/2022 and the Zoom thing never would connect--so here I am on your last Dec. event....Glad to find you all.
Incredible!
What was the date this was aired? Great herstory!!!
Hi Baubina, I'm a Sinister Wisdom intern here to respond to your question. This video was aired in 1982 as a part of ALFA's 10th anniversary celebration. Thanks!
@@bellpitkin8303 How I wish young women/lesbians of today would listen to these stories and through what uplifting and empowering times we lived. I am so glad I was alive then to experience all this female and lesbian innovations and creations. This video depicts that. A gem!
Yes, Yes, More wonderful! Sinister Wisdom you're AWESOME!!!!!!!
Oh, so glad I found you on UA-cam--missed you earlier!!! Love ALLLLLL THE READERS AND THEIR GREAT WRITING!! THANK YOU SISTERS!!!
Made me think of all the Womens' bars we use to have, so sad so few now
