Only a few times in history have women been in a position to separate from the rest of society in order to describe the world as we see it, and our needs. - Judy Grahn
"Without a visual identity, we have no community, no support network, no movement. Making ourselves visible is a political act, making ourselves visible is a continual process." - Joan E. Biren
"If there’s one thing that all lesbians have in common, it’s the ability to say
