Elsa Gidlow was a badass. She was a lesbian, a poet, an anarchist, and a feminist, in the early 20th century before she was aware of others like her. If anyone read Erik Davis' "Visionary State," which I reviewed on Goodreads last Fall, you may recognize her name from the section on Druid Heights, the radical Buddhist hippie community she founded in Marin County when she squatted a derelict house in Fairfax in the 1940's. She's my new hero.
