DESCRIPTION:Author Michael Helquist will launch his fascinating biography about Dr. 
 Marie Equi (1872–1952), a physician for working-class women and children, 
 a lesbian, and a dynamic and flamboyant political activist. She become one 
 of the first practicing woman physicians in the Pacific Northwest and 
 leveraged her professional status to fight for woman suffrage, labor 
 rights, and reproductive freedom. \n\nHer protests against WW I lead to a 
 conviction for sedition and a three-year sentence in San Quentin. Breaking 
 boundaries in all facets of life, she became the first well-known lesbian 
 in Oregon.\n\nThis is the inspiring story of a singular woman who was not 
 afraid to take risks, who refused to compromise her principles in the face 
 of enormous opposition and adversity, and who paid a steep personal price 
 for living by her convictions.   -- Fall 2015 Catalog, Oregon State 
 University Press\n\nAdmission $3 but free if you buy the book. Snacks and 
 libations will be served!\n
