Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of a typescript draft of a memoir by Santa Cruz lesbian Dennise C. Brown, as well as journals she kept from 1977-1994. Among other things, her writings trace her coming out process, her spiritual journey and her illnesses. Of particular interest is a book about her first love, which she wrote and bound as part of a junior high summer class. Brown describes one series of journals (from 1979-1985) as “Books of Shadows.” There is also a small amount of correspondence and some of her published articles. A complete inventory is available from the Managing Archivist. GSSO Linked Terms: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GSSO_000381; http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/MESH/D019497
