I was lucky enough to live in Atlanta one of the same years (1977) that Vicki did and was even fortunate to be able to work with her on some committees on Lesbian Rights. I was also there when a fundraiser was done to collect money for her appeal in Boston (in fact I still have the poster for the fundraiser that was right outside my newly-arrived in Atlanta apartment on N Highland Ave -- what a twist of [lucky] fate). "Ms. Gabriner" is one of the most admirable and inspiring women I have ever met (she certainly always inspired me, even after she left Atlanta, through her writing) and truly is "a woman who dared" In my opinion, the JWA Award could not have gone to a more deserving and articulate woman. I look forward to listening to her podcast.
