- Interview with Jeanne Neath and Paula Mariedaughter
- Description
- Jeanne Neath and Paula Mariedaughter discuss their involvement with feminist and lesbian activism, focusing on women-centered spaces and resources. Jeanne talks about her academic history and Spinster’s Books and Webbery in Kansas. Jeanne and Paula discuss organizing events and initiatives like the Lavender Umbrella community center. They also co-published At the Crossroads, a journal on feminism and spirituality. Central to their activism has been a commitment to separatist principles, emphasizing women-only spaces and relationships. However, their views regarding transgender people, particularly opposition to including trans women in women’s spaces, have been highly controversial, leading to significant conflicts within feminist and lesbian communities. Despite this, they have remained steadfast in their efforts to maintain and advocate for spaces centered on their interpretation of radical lesbian feminism.
