- Abstract
- Aggie was born in 1950 in Torrance, California, and grew up in southern California. She attended college and worked in California until moving to Oregon in 1985. She was introduced to the lesbian land communities in southern Oregon by attending a week-long photography workshop (the “Ovulars”) at Ruth and Jean Mountaingrove’s lesbian land, Rootworks, in 1984. She moved to WomanShare Collective lesbian separatist land and lived there before returning to college. She moved to Eugene in 1991, attended the University of Oregon and started a career in education. She adopted an infant in 1996. She discusses the Eugene lesbian parenting group, Rainbow Rascals.
