At the time there was not mudr formal o¡ganized support Her tadic was to make herself visible ernugh so that if there were otherq that they would be able to find her. Thus began a phenomenal history of social oryanizing and prolife writing based on the philmophy that ifs more important to be honest ttt¿n it is to be corred. She became a founding membeì óf V-o4 ne nrstìesUian S/M group. She wrote about S/vf for r¿ariou men and women's publications, both fiction and ry{.ti9_tl and also published Sapphistrv.
