"I think I would have died if there hadn't been the women's movement.
It gave me a vision that I could do something different, and it gave me
an understanding that I wasn't a monster, or sport, or a betrayer of my
family. And it gave me a source of joy. It told me that being a lesbian
was not a crime or a sin, that I could be happy, and that I could do
something of use." (San Francisco Focus, December 23, 1996)
