Sisters of the Pen

Karin Kallmaker's posts about other sapphic writers, particularly the foremothers of sapphic fiction, like Dorothy Allison and Lee Lynch. Women we all should be so lucky to know.

Cover, Indomitable the Barbara Grier Story by Joanne Passet

Indomitable Should Be in Your Public Library

Karin Kallmaker 01/05/2017 Readers and Libraries, Sisters of the Pen 5 Comments

Biographies of lesbian women are rare. Your local library should have a copy of Indomitable and you can make it happen in five minutes or less without leaving your chair.

Reblog: KG MacGregor “We aren’t afraid of you”

Karin Kallmaker 06/12/2016 LIFE + STYLE, Sisters of the Pen 2 Comments

I have few coherent words. KG MacGregor has words and they are all, as usual, very coherent. Please read. For those who think elections and judges don’t matter I have no time for you today.

So I Had This Idea, 2016

Karin Kallmaker 05/22/2016 Events and Appearances, Sisters of the Pen

I’m rubbing my hands together in glee about this year’s Newbies on Display, err, I mean “So I Had This Idea” Panel at GCLS 2016.

Talk, Love, Listen – Joan Nestle, in Her Own Words

Karin Kallmaker 08/04/2015 Sisters of the Pen 7 Comments

It’s okay to be gay as long as you are invisible – true then. True now. Which is why reading Joan Nestle is as important today as it has ever been.

Random Shiny Things

  • Cowboys and Kisses Reviewed at Lez Review Books
    A fine balance between romance and reality . . . intimate scenes are beautifully appropriate for the period.
  • Velvet in Venice – “Relationships Take Time”
    This is a wonderful romance, strengthening the argument that love happens in an instant, but relationships take time. This story is highly recommended.
