Ellen Whitney Dickinson

A Fond Farewell.

Ellen Dickinson, cofounder of Women About had a vision – create a group that would provide an alternative to the 70s bar scene options. A vision of a shared community that would give lesbians the opportunity to enjoy a love of nature and the outdoors.
A group that could nurture the spirit of women in a safe and friendly community. Click for more information.
