This month's IN THE LIFE, Voices of Sisterhood, celebrates Women's History Month with a collection of stories honoring the struggles, triumphs, and art of LGBT women around the world. BEEBO BRINKER In the 1950's and 60's Ann Bannon wrote a series of lesbian pulp novels. Provocative and daring, these books thrust this housewife into literary history. Now, they have now come to life through the play: The Beebo Brinker Chronicles. MARGARITA SANCHEZ Puerto Rico, despite its reputation for being a gay-friendly destination, had a law on its books (Article 103) making sex between members of the same gender a crime. Activist Margarita Sanchez took on the system, confident in the belief that there is space for everyone in our society. OLIVIA RECORDS Founded in 1973, Olivia Records provided a means for lesbians and feminists to find their "voice," both literally and figuratively. What started as a musical venture, soon evolved into a successful corporate entity leading the way in the ever-growing marketplace for gay travel. CATCH ONE CLUB Combining a nightclub with a community outreach program, Los Angeles' Catch One Club became an instant hit in the lesbian community, particularly among women of color. As the music plays on, the Catch One Club continues to serve as a beacon for the community. ONE WOMAN PRESS Lisa Moore took it upon herself to find a way to express the lives of African-American gay men and lesbians through the written word. As the founder and editor of RedBone Press, and winner of several Lambda Literary Awards, Lisa gave her community's many unheard stories a home. LESBIAN ACTIVISM IN THE PHILIPPINES IN THE LIFE introduces you to some brave women at the forefront of Lesbian Activism in The Philippines. In spite of its oppressive attitude toward LGBT life, these women stepped forward to demand visibility and change. ACTION ARCHITECT Once dubbed the Evil Knievel of dance, Elizabeth Streb challenged perceptions of this medium by combining acrobatics, science, and art in the pursuit of pure movement. A self-professed "Action Architect," Streb redefined the limits of dance choreography by devising new ways to move. Written by Anonymous See less
