Landykes: Women’s Land Communities, Pt. 1
Since the 1970s, Lesbians have been starting women’s land communities all over the country, a form of “living feminism” in its various manifestations. In their gatherings and publications, many of them identify as “Landykes.” For the first panel, we have invited several Landykes to describe how and why they got involved in one or more women’s land communities, and some of their challenges and successes.
