<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This is a poster for a fundraiser with lesbian and feminist women singers who were big stars in their heyday. We are sure that you have heard some of their names in recent days too. The fundraiser was for WAVAW (Women Against Violence Against Women). WAVAW is a collection of the June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives. It was essential many women's groups at the time offer childcare and accessibility at every event. It's been in the Mazer's collections for decades. Most of the collection is now at UCLA/ Special Collections. <a href="https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt4t1nf1vc/?query=WAVAW+">Click here </a><span id="goog_1730500665"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1730500666"></span>to see a list of other items in the collection in more detail. We are very grateful to Dani Adams for getting this to the archives so many years ago. Experts say that the amount of violence against women has never changed since this organization was first started, the only change is the services for women that started with groups like this. So we still need great organizations just like WAVAW TODAY. </span>The Mazer Lesbian Archives Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07983718593616088267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458636582142256677.post-62856953700473914642020-02-26T21:43:00.001-08:002020-02-26T21:57:41.171-08:00<div style="text-align: justify;">

She often wore pants in the days when it was not acceptable for women to wear them. Sometimes she even did this in different countries like France and Mexico. Often she would write in her journals about the reactions people in those countries had to her defiance of the pants rule. She noted that children reacted differently than women and men.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This is a photo of Barbara Grier from inside the Mazer. She was a friend of this archive. Here she is speaking at the Mazer in 1989. Barbara, who was a founder of Naiad Press, made a commitment to the Mazer to donate one of every single book Naiad published. She did indeed make good on this promise. She was a pioneer in the lesbian community but not without drama. You can read more about her in a fantastic biography by Joanne Passet by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Indomitable-Barbara-Grier-Joanne-Passet/dp/1594934711/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=barbara+grier&qid=1582771224&sr=8-1">clicking here</a>.</span>The Mazer Lesbian Archives Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07983718593616088267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458636582142256677.post-80077154747725710772014-01-10T05:37:00.001-08:002014-01-10T05:37:51.376-08:00Community Matters 2013: Jinx Beers<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eAx9N6mxFFA" width="480"></iframe>The Mazer Lesbian Archives Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07983718593616088267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458636582142256677.post-23941262575207115182013-12-31T00:27:00.001-08:002013-12-31T00:27:43.750-08:00Mazer Lesbian Archives thanked by Dr. Marie Cartier<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/aKm2OFo4m6k" width="480"></iframe>The Mazer Lesbian Archives Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07983718593616088267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458636582142256677.post-4423702921899205532013-11-05T16:19:00.001-08:002013-11-05T16:25:04.211-08:00Marie Cartier, Excerpt from Baby, You Are My Religion<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">EVENT TODAY! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday, September 16, 2012 3-5pm</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Eloise Klein Healy introduces author Kelly Barth</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
Kelly is visiting us all the way from Kansas! Kelly Barth, like many American kids, went to Sunday school, sang songs about Zaccheas, and was tucked in with bedtime prayers. A typical Christian kid, that is, until she developed a searingly deep crush on another little girl playing afterhours in church, and more importantly, until Jesus-a tiny, imaginary Jesus, one that stays "safely tucked behind the baseboard or the petals of a peony"-became her invisible friend and constant companion. Her book My Almost Certainly Real Imaginary Jesus is heartbreakingly honest and hilarious, it shows just how easy it can be to fall headlong into fundamentalism, venturing into the very heart of enemy territory and the church's false promises of altar calls and sexual cures. In the spirit of Anne Lamott's Traveling Mercies, this debut memoir is plainspoken, speaking with candor and insight. Barth particularly addresses the disconnect between the radical and very human Jesus of history and the church's supernatural savior. She asks the question to all in the closet-both closet Christians and closet homosexuals: Which is more difficult, admitting to being Christian or admitting to being gay? An answer is found in her own hard-won journey, a hopeful answer that is an "attempt to leave a record of the early signs of the turning and softening of a collective heart." Giving voice to many who have searched for sanctuary in a church that has largely rejected them, this story pauses at the threshold of one of a growing number of churches which, in opening the door to her and other homosexuals, welcome Jesus back inside as well.Join us for this book reading/signing with Kelly and a Q&A with Kelly and Eloise!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an all accessable event. $5 Donation requested Snacks & Drinks will be served. <br />
