I took of the MOW
Robin Tyler is a comic/activist
and an activist/comic, and was exactly the right person
to emcee the stage at the MOW Rally. She used humor and political
rhetoric to call for
the march, and also later Marches. I paired her on this page with
Maxine Feldman,
who I give credit for creating the first openly lesbian song, "Angry
Athis," and when
Robin Tyler and her comedy partner Patty Harrison heard her they immediately
invlted her to tour with them (1970-1971). At that time being an openly
lesbian
performer was brave, and Harrison & Tyler produced Maxine's first
recording.
Her song "Amazon Woman" would become a lesbian anthem for
decades to come.
In my radio work I have had the pleasure of interviewing both Robin
and Maxine;
Robin in August
2001 and both of them on my show for April
2002. Robin released
a number of recordings, seen in her discography.

Maxine died in 2007 and really did not have that long of an active
career,
so as photos of her are rare I am showing them in large format.

As a historian
I can't express how delighted I was to have
heard Maxine perform "Closet Sale" life at this Rally
