“Olivia on the Record” Book Reading & Discussion

Former Furies lesbian activist Ginny Berson was one of the original founders of Olivia Records, a national women’s record company, created in 1973 by a collective of radical lesbian feminists.

She offers us her personal take on what those times were like, revisiting the excitement, the humor, and the hardships of creating a fair and equitable lesbian-feminist business model—one
that had no precedent.

Berson will provide us with a front-row seat to the collective “processing” that produced and distributed lesbian records and introduces us to the first generation of fans to experience women’s music as lesbian liberation. If you love Lesbian music, you will not want to miss this!

This Lesbian Visibility event is sponsored by Lesbians Benefitting the Arts (LBA) and Stonewall Columbus.
