- Abstract
- Janet was born in 1947 in Minnesota, an only child, and was raised in Minnesota and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1969 and studied at San Francisco State University before getting her master’s degree at the University of Oregon. In San Francisco, she was involved in feminist sex education. She had her first lesbian experience in 1973, but didn’t come out until she was living in California in 1975. In Eugene, Janet worked at Lane Community College, became involved with Women’s Action for Nuclear Disarmament (WAND), led fifteen trips to the Soviet Union with Women’s Journeys for Peace, and became co-director of Womenspace. Subsequently, she worked at United Way of Lane County. In 2000, she became director of the LCC Foundation. She retired in 2013.
