Caring deeply, changing the world : a profile of Sherry Thomas

S. Thomas, M. Perlstein

Sherry Thomas's history of activism and fundraising in the lesbian feminist community, told in her own words, offers us a point of view of periods of our evolving culture and knowledge that will both inspire and teach. From the rural reaches of Northern California and the nascent consciousness raising and country women's movement, to the burgeoning publishing and women's bookstore culture, Sherry was on the frontlines. Then in the larger lesbigay community, first for San Francisco's Main Library fundraising campaign and currently for Lambda Legal Defense, Sherry teaches us how inextricably related organizing and funding are.
