About the event
Judy Grahn is coming to the Billy DeFrank Center
Free Event: Sunday, November 8th
2pm - 4pm @ The DeFrank Center.
Poet, activist, and scholar Judy Grahn was born in Chicago and grew up in New Mexico. She joined the Air Force but was discharged at 21 for being openly gay. A central member of the West Coast feminist poetry movement of the 1970s, Grahn received a PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Judy will talk about what it was like to be a lesbian in the 1970's and 80's - this will be a taste of herstory for young queer women and nostalgia for the older folks.
