Join us for a viewing of “Sally!”, a feature documentary examining the life of Sally Gearhart, one of second-wave feminism’s most beloved icons. Gearhart penned a cult classic fantasy novel about a female utopia and fought one of history’s greatest battles for queer rights shoulder-to-shoulder with Harvey Milk. But fast forward to 2008 and Sally has been largely forgotten by history—not to mention erased from the Hollywood film “Milk.” Yet rather than simply resurrecting her legacy and glorifying one woman’s story, “Sally!” takes a more collectivist turn, tracing Gearhart's life trajectory through the eyes of the exceptional women who fought for justice by her side. Finally, when we visit Gearhart in 2014, where she is living alone on Women’s Land, without the community she helped create. What happened and what will become of her legacy?

The film screening will held in the Knight Library Browsing Room (1501 Kincaid St, Eugene, OR 97403) and be followed by a Q&A session with Sally! director and producer Deborah Craig. 

This event is free and open to the public.
