Bloodroot and BEST reading ever!

I had the VERY best reading today at the wonderful Bloodroot feminist restaurant for so many reasons.

First the incredible amazon warriors and foremothers (now grandmothers), Selma and Noel, created as a collective and kept this amazing vegan and vegetarian restaurant afloat for over FOUR decades, paving the way when womyn barely owned any business, let alone a lesbian and feminist business!

Then, to be able to read where probably every well-known lesbian author of the past four decades has shared her work - to sit on a chair that might have been occupied by Andre Lorde or Adrienne Rich or any other of our foremothers! What an honor!

But today the voices of radical lesbian feminists - and young radical lesbian feminists - were not just the loudest, but were in the majority! These young womyn were brilliant, vocal, able and willing to step forward and step up into leadership positions - and I felt so immensely proud to witness this generation's awakening and embracing of and springing off from the herstory we worked so hard at creating for ourselves and for the future generations - these young womyn's - survival and thriving!
