This research goes into the women's experiences at WomanShare, a lesbian land community in Southern Oregon, to understand how their diverse skills, commitment to education, and mentorship dynamics contribute to their success in communal living and foster a culture of empowerment. By working together to learn, teach, and carry out roles that were traditionally held by men, women at WomanShare were able to create a space of individuality and feminism. The research draws on primary sources, including interviews and writings from community members, portraits, and academic sources that contextualize the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s.Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USlesbiansgender normsWomanSharelesbian land communityOregon history
