Gareth Fenley: Guide for Lesbians Moving to Atlanta, Georgia, 1995 to 2015

Gareth Fenley

Gareth Fenley, a writer, dedicated lesbian, and woman of many talents, wrote a guide for lesbians visiting or moving to Atlanta, Georgia. This guide is her gift to all lesbians who may find it useful. A lot of this information would otherwise be lost to herstory, and for that, we greatly appreciate Gareth Fenley for submitting this to the Southern Lesbian Feminist Activist Herstory Project.
