Sydney Abbot Report

Saturday February 10 was the date that students of Chatham College were treated to a visit by Sydney Abbot and many other beautiful gay women. The occasion was a colloquy sponsored by the college, featuring numerous workshops concerning women with an interchange of ideas by students and anyone wishing to enter the discussions.

Her co-authorship, with partner Barbara Love of SAPPHO WAS A RIGHT-ON WOMAN, has supported the gay woman and helped to give her a more positive self-identity.

Summing it up was sheer, unadulterated pleasure to experience this gathering of women, communicating, supporting, and trying to understand her sister’s varying life styles.
