Description

June 22 Toronto The documentary Jill Johnston October 1975, by Kay Armitage and Lydia Wazano, was shown at Innis College, University of Toronto. Johnston, an American lesbian-feminist and author of Lesbian Nation (1973), attended the screening and answered questions afterwards. Johnston stunned the audience when she revealed that she did not want to be associated any longer with the movie's portrayal of her past life (as a radical, militant dyke-feminist). Later that day, Johnston read at the 3 of Cups coffee house.
