- Interview with Peggy Johnson
- Description
- Peggy Johnson shares her experiences with Herland, a community center, where she contributed to physical renovations by texturing walls and tearing down a partition, alongside other volunteer work. She also served on the board in the late 1980s and early 1990s, helping with management and maintenance tasks. Peggy reflects on her journey to Oklahoma, explaining how she originally came from Georgia, was discharged from the Navy for being a lesbian, and, along with her girlfriend, ended up in Oklahoma after initially planning to go to San Francisco or New Orleans. She was drawn to Herland after seeing a flyer for a feminist bookstore and meeting the people involved. Although she had initially planned to leave, her personal circumstances led her to stay in Oklahoma, where she continued to connect with the Herland community.
