Description
Chocolate Waters reflects on a life shaped by writing, rebellion, lesbian community, and artistic survival. Born in Maryland and raised largely in conservative Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, she describes feeling out of place before discovering lesbian identity at Lock Haven. After being left in Colorado, she built a life in Denver through women’s bars, house painting, poetry, and the radical feminist newspaper Big Mama Rag. Her story follows love affairs, feminist politics, performance, publishing, New York City, Paris readings, aging, memory, and the complicated joy of making an independent creative life outside conventional expectations.
