Amber Hollibaugh has been an activist in various social justice movements since the early 1960s. Born into a working‐class family in the growing valleys of California, Hollibaugh's political activism and writings have insisted on the importance of bringing together people and identities often kept apart by class, race, gender, and sexual hierarchies. This interview with Ian Lekus, from December 21, 1999, offers a unique social history of the social justice movements of the 1960s and 1970s told from the perspective of a working‐class, queer femme.
