She fell in love and married a fellow activist, the Black writer Julius Lester, establishing a partnership that was long and multifaceted but not free of the politics of race and gender. As the womens movement dawned, feminism helped Lester find her voice, her pansexuality, and the courage to be herself. Braiding intellectual, personal, and political history, Lester tells the story of a writer and activist fighting for love and justice before, during, and after the Supreme Courts 1967 decision striking down bans on interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia. She describes her own shifts in consciousness, from an activist climbing police barricades by day and reading and writing late into the night to a woman navigating the coming-out process in midlife, before finding the publishing success she had dreamed of. Speaking candidly about every facet of her life, Lester illuminates her journey to fulfillment and healing. 600 10 $a Lester, Joan Steinau, $d 1940- 650 0 $a Women authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Interracial marriage $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230901010200.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210804012910.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3D21FE8D64311EB91745AA74CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
