Jeanne Córdova dies at 67; activist and author chronicled lesbian feminist movement of 1970s
Jeanne Córdova, an activist, author and publisher whose magazine, the Lesbian Tide, chronicled the lesbian feminist movement of the 1970s, has died. She was 67.
Córdova died of cancer Sunday at her home in Los Feliz, her spouse, Lynn Harris Ballen, said.
A provocative, self-described "butch" who favored neckties and a close-cropped haircut, Córdova spent more than four decades fighting for lesbian visibility in both the feminist movement and the male-dominated gay-rights movement.
