Country Lesbians: the Story of the WomanShare Collective
29/11/2025
In the summer of 1973, looking to escape the masculine and patriarchal culture of the big city, Billie, Carol and Dian embarked on a road trip. Fuelled by a desire to reconnect with the land and find new ways of living together as women, they drove across the United States to southern Oregon. In this rural country, they found an independence and isolation that allowed them to fully assert themselves as feminists and lesbians. They bought a plot of land and founded WomanShare, a breakaway community to live, build, farm and write on their own terms.
