Praise for Lesbian Game Changers

“We all need our heroes. This is what Robin is providing for us.”
—Meredith Baxter | Actor, Producer | NY Times best-selling author

The Importance of Knowing Our History

“It is difficult to know where to go if you have no concept of where you have been. Game Changers reminds us of our community’s past, both joyful and painful, that brought us to this moment where we no longer have to whisper the word lesbian under our breaths - and in the closet, while still present, is not as compulsory as it once was. Through these histories Robin Lowey has changed the game to ensure that our forebears and our struggles will not be erased. LGBTQ+ youth everywhere will know that we matter, we have always mattered, and we have, indeed, made a difference.” —Rick Oculto MWS | Education Manager, Our Family Coalition Supporting Equity for All Families & Children

From Educators and Librarians

“It has been amazing to watch certain students’ reactions to the book who are able to see a representation of their own identities in their school environment.” — Jessica Colvin, director, Wellness Center, Tamalpais Unified School District

“Received your fabulous book today, and it’s grand! I wish I had had such a book when I was a girl.” -Dee Dee Kramer, Program Manager, James C. Hormel LGBTQIA Center, San Francisco Public Library

“I’ve been fighting for 25 years to get (LGBTQI) literary art included in the English Department’s curriculum. They now happily include queer theory, but our history, culture, and artistic contributions are rarely included. I’ve been working to change that. So, when it comes to including a bit of lesbian culture and literary art, your book seems like a perfect fit. I appreciate that one of your goals is to get these books and our contribution to culture into the hands of students. . . Including the films and a zoom chat with you in the course would be wonderful, too.” —Kris Terwelp, Senior Lecturer, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee

“We operate on very few funds for the library, and we’ve had a real gap in our LGBTQ collection. It’s an area I’ve been trying to build, and this was a great addition!” — Amy Kumar, Librarian/Extended Essay Coordinator, Ygnacio Valley High School, Concord, CA

“I would like to buy a copy of this book for the women's studies library at Harvard University/Radcliffe Institute, the Schlesinger Library. . . I'm delighted that we can get the book for the library's collection. Many thanks for making that possible!” - Marylène Altieri, Curator of Books and Printed Materials Schlesinger, Library on the History of Women in America, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

“I received your book, Game Changers, this week. What a wonderful project!! I will be happy to add it to our book collection and display it so the students see it.

Thank you for your generosity!” - Christina Moore, Library Media Specialist, Novato High School, Novato, CA

“What a fabulous publication! I and others will be sure to enjoy this new release and simultaneously become more informed of the LGBT culture” Gilbert Chan, Teacher Librarian, A. Lincoln HS Library, San Francisco, CA
