When I first learned about these communities, I laughed. I didn't realize how land could be a liberation tool. That journey is something I explore in On Queer Homesteading. Snag a copy for the queer history lover in your life! www.finishinglinepress.com/product/on-q...

These women’s land communities still exist today, though they are small and members are getting older and older. They serve as inspiration for queer homesteaders all over – proof that we can build our own communities.

These communities weren't perfect. There was a lot of infighting, and many women left because it was hard to eke out a living . Some communities became controversial due to their exclusion of trans women, bisexual women, BIPOC and working class women.

Radical feminists believed that seperation from the patriarchy was the only way to be free. Women built shelter, grew and prepared food, cared for children, and earned money through cottage industries. Everything was shared.

sorry to hear this, I've enjoyed reading your pieces there!
