Hollibaugh is a lesbian sex radical, ex-hooker, incest survivor, gypsy child, poor-white-trash, high femme dyke. She is also an award-winning filmmaker, feminist, Left political organizer, public speaker, and journalist." She is currently the Interim Executive Director of New York's Queers for Economic Justice (QEJ). Formerly she was Chief Officer of Elder & LBTI Women’s Services at Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago.〔See ("Amber Hollibaugh" retrieved 5-25-2012 )〕 She has been director of education, advocacy and community building at SAGE (Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders), a New York program dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender senior education, advocacy, and community organizing.〔''GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies'' (2004) 10#2 pp 313-316〕 Hollibaugh is the daughter of a Romany father of Spanish descent and an Irish mother. ==Career and writings== In 1970 Hollibaugh was a leader in the Canadian movement for abortion rights.〔Christabelle Sethna and Steve Hewitt, "Clandestine Operations: The Vancouver Women’s Caucus, the Abortion Caravan, and the RCMP," ''The Canadian Historical Review'' (September 2009) Volume 90, Number 3, pp 463-95〕 In 1978 she was a cofounder with Allan Bérubé and others of the San Francisco Lesbian and Gay History Project.〔Jeffrey Weeks, "Allan Bérubé (1946-2007)," ''History Workshop Journal'' (Spring 2010) Issue 69, p 295〕 In 1982 she was a speaker at the 1982 Barnard Conference on Sexuality, a key event in what became known as the Feminist Sex Wars. She has written on the marginalization she experienced afterwards as a result of being a former sex worker and her involvement in the sadomasochism community. She was the director and coproducer with Gini Reticker of "The Heart of the Matter," a 60-minute documentary film about the confusing messages women students receive about sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.〔Sharon Gmelch, et al. ''Gender on Campus: Issues for College Women'' (Rutgers University Press, 1998) p. 197.〕 The film won the 1994 Sundance Film Festival Freedom of Expression Award; it premiered to a national audience on PBS. In the 1990s she argued that that American liberalism is in disarray, but is looking to the Left for guidance in how to reshape itself.〔Eliza Jane Reilly, "Liberalism and the Left: Rethinking the Relationship," ''Radical History Review'' (Spring 1998), Issue 71, pp3-5〕 Stafford has analyzed her memoir ''My Dangerous Desires'' (2000) in terms of femme lesbian narratives.〔Anika Stafford, "'Uncompromising Positions: Reiterations of Misogyny Embedded in Lesbian and Feminist Communities' Framing of Lesbian Femme Identities," ''Atlantis'' 2010, Vol. 35 Issue 1, pp 81-91.〕 In 2002, Fitzgerald discussed Hollibaugh and Singh's 1999 essay "Sexuality, Labor, and the New Trade Unionism" in ''Social Text''. Fitzgerald says that their presentation of the relationship between sexual politics and the labor movement proposed a labor movement "that will take on immigration issues, racism, health care, and the nuances of economic inequality alongside more mainstream labor and 'gay rights' concerns."〔Jenrose Fitzgerald, "Querying Sexual Economy: The Cultural Politics of Sexuality and Class in the United States," ''American Quarterly'' (2002) 54#2 pp 349-357〕 In her writings on sexuality she has declared that "there is no human hope without the promise of ecstasy."〔Cited in Iain Morland, "What Can Queer Theory Do for Intersex?," ''GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies'' Volume 15, Number 2, 2009 p 303〕 Altman says that Hollibaugh is "a powerful organizing speaker, a very fine incisive writer and a brilliant theorist."〔Meryl Altman, "Sexual Politics," ''The Women's Review of Books,'' (Jan. 2001) Vol. 18, No. 4 pp. 13-14 (in JSTOR )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amber L.
