Biography
Ivy was born on August 15, 1926, to a working class family in Long
Island, New York. In 1944, she studied art at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and
later went on to a career in graphic design, working as an illustrator and art
director for
Newsday. In 1951, she married Edward
Bottini. She gave birth to her first daughter, Laura, in 1953, and her second
daughter, Lisa, in 1956.
By the mid-1960s, Bottini became involved in the developing feminist
movement and in 1966 became a founding member of the National Organization for
Women (NOW) at its first chapter in New York City. Soon after, she became the
New York chapter's second president. During that time, Bottini began coming to
terms with her newly-discovered sexuality, and she came out as a lesbian and
divorced her husband in 1968. After the news of her sexuality became public
knowledge, some women in the NOW membership, including NOW co-founder Betty
Friedan, began speaking out against lesbian women in the organization. Bottini,
a target of that protest, subsequently left NOW in 1970.
Soon after leaving NOW, Bottini moved to Los Angeles and further
developed performances, workshops and seminars in feminist
consciousness-raising, which she had started when she was a member of NOW. As a
feminist comedian, she performed her one-woman shows, "Everywoman" and "The
Many Faces of Woman," at numerous locations--including various NOW
chapters--throughout the United States until the late 1970s. Meanwhile, she
also earned a living as a graphic designer and a real estate agent.
Besides her feminist consciousness-raising, Bottini began to establish
her leadership role in the gay and lesbian rights movement, as well as AIDS
activism. Her accomplishments include working for the Los Angeles Gay and
Lesbian Community Services Center; becoming deputy director for the No on
Briggs Proposition 6 campaign; becoming political vice president of the
Stonewall Democratic Club; co-chairing the Los Angeles Police Department's
first Gay and Lesbian Police Task Force; founding the Los Angeles AIDS Network;
being a founding board member of AIDS Project Los Angeles; and chairing the No
on LaRouche Proposition 64 campaign. In the 1990s, she spearheaded a project to
build affordable housing for LGBT seniors, known as Triangle Square. She
continues to be involved in several activities, including the Gay and Lesbian
Advisory Board of the West Hollywood City Council.
Bottini has also been an artist throughout her life, and her work has
been exhibited at various locations beginning in the 1990s. As
of July 2009, Bottini lives in West Hollywood, California.

Year events, the Police Advisory Task Force and the Women's Action Alliance.
