Description
When We Were Outlaws: A Memoir of Love & Revolution
A raw and intimate chronicle of a young activist torn between personal longings and political goals, this memoir offers a rare view of the life of a radical lesbian during the early cultural struggle for gay rights and Women's Liberation in the 1970s.
Brash and ambitious, Jeanne Córdova navigates the complexities of her dual identity as she becomes an investigative reporter, covers high-profile events, and creates her own newsmagazine, The Lesbian Tide. With period detail and evocative characters, this memoir brings to life emblematic scenes of the era, while also offering insights into ethics, decision-making, and strategy that remain relevant today.
