About Us & Acknowledgements
Historian:
Alex Warner is a doctoral candidate in the History Department at Rutgers. Her in-progress dissertation examines the intersections of the politics of feminism, sexual and gay liberation through investigating the organization of lesbian sado-masochists in the 1970s and 80s. Alex received research grants from the Schlesinger Library at Harvard and the Lesbian Caucus of the National Women's Studies Association, has presented her work at the American Historical Association, the Society of American Archivists and International Ms. Leather and is the curator of a traveling exhibit, "Women of Leather," from the Leather Archives and Museum. Alex has taught courses in the History and Women's and Gender Studies Departments at Rutgers, Seton Hall, and San Francisco State University and is currently teaching for the Writing Program and the Institute for Research on Women at Rutgers. She can be reached at awarner@rci.rutgers.edu.
Artist:
Katie Diamond is a radical queer comic artist and graphic designer. She strongly believes in the direct cross-over of art and politics, and uses this dogma in her every-day art practice. She's done many illustrations and cartoons about gender, sexuality, and sex education. She's also designed many pamphlets, flyers, and posters for various local organizations. Stylistically, she has been heavily influenced by cartoonist Alison Bechdel; comic artist Adrian Tomine; cartoonist Roberta Gregory; comic art historian Trina Robbins; and the late printmaker Kathe Kollwitz. Politically, Diamond looks to Kathe Kollwitz, as well as groups such as the Guerilla Girls and subRosa for inspiration as an artist-activist-advocate. You can learn more about her at: (http://www.katiediamond.com)
We'd like to thank the Leather Archives and Museum in Chicago, IL (http://www.leatherarchives.org/) and the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco (http://www.glbthistory.org/) for their incredible resources and staff.
We'd also like to express our gratitude to all the Leatherwomen who have come before us; we are forever indebted.
In Leather,
Alex and KD
