83 year old Lesbian Pulp author Artemis Smith was at NY's Rainbow Book Fair this past Saturday. Unassuming, she told the story of how she was the first author to tell the gay community in the 1960s to hurry up and “Come out of the Closet” or get left out of the civil rights movement.
When I spoke with her she showed me copies of her newly published 'Odd Girl Restored", the unedited version of "Anne Loves Beth" (original title by author) and "Odd Girl Revisited" which includes memoirs of the early years of the 1950-60's Rainbow civil rights coalition movements.
