For today's #TBT, we honor Judy Grahn who recently received the 2017 Cody Award at the Northern California Book Awards in the @sfpubliclibrary! Compiled in one book for the first time, featuring both new and out of print pieces, the contents of The Judy Grahn Reader span four decades of work by the prominent writer and activist. As her writing continues to be relevant in today’s social, political and cultural climate, this comprehensive volume gathers the varying strands of her writing and makes visible the tremendous scope of her ongoing contribution as a feminist thinker, activist, and literary artist. Make sure to purchase a copy on our website. #linkinbio #ThrowBackThursday #AuntLuteBooks #bookstagram #books #JudyGrahn #TheJudyGrahnReader #lesbian #feminism #CodyAward #NCBA #NorthernCaliforniaBookAwards #SFPL
