Jane Rule, writer of lesbian fiction and non-fiction, died yesterday. (link to obituary)
If you never read another lesbian book, you should read Memory Board. It was written before Alzheimer’s became to the media attention.
My favorite quote:
I’ve never been resigned to ready-made ideas as I was to ready-made clothes, perhaps because although I couldn’t sew, I could think. Jane Rule
