Jane Rule

Jane Rule, writer of lesbian fiction and non-fiction, died yesterday. (link to obituary)

If you never read another lesbian book, you should read Memory Board. It was written before Alzheimer's became to the media attention.

My favorite quote:

I've never been resigned to ready-made ideas as I was to ready-made clothes, perhaps because although I couldn't sew, I could think. Jane Rule

(from brainyquotes)

Her books:

    Desert of the Heart (1964) (became the movie Desert Hearts in 1987)
    This Is Not For You (1970)
    Against the Season (1971)
    Lesbian Images (1975)
    Theme for Diverse Instruments (1975)
    The Young in One Another's Arms (1977)
    Contract With the World (1980)
    Outlander (1981)
    Inland Passage and Other Stories (1982)
    A Hot-Eyed Moderate (1985)
    Memory Board (1987)
    After the Fire (1989)
