Title
Interview with Terri Hoersch
Description
Terri reflects on her involvement with Herland (a women-only community space in Oklahoma City) over the span of 25 years. Although she was not deeply involved in its leadership or operations, she engaged with Herland through music-related activities and attended various events. Terri shares her initial introduction to Herland, noting how she discovered the space after moving to Oklahoma City and becoming familiar with the local lesbian community. Terri describes the early history of Herland, which started as a women's bookstore before expanding into the community center it became. She mentions the consensus-based structure of the organization, where decision-making was done collectively rather than through a typical board of directors, with positions referred to as "sisters" rather than traditional titles like president or vice president.
