Scope and Content of Collection
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.
