She was an only child. Her family moved to Cleveland, where she grew up. She discusses her connection to Enid Lefton, who also grew up in Cleveland. She went to Kent State University in 1966 and later studied social work as a graduate student at Boston University. She talks about the anti-war protests going on at the time. She worked in Washington, D.C. at a settlement house and was also involved in the anti-war movement there when she protested Richard Nixon's inauguration in 1969. She discusses politics. She moved to San Francisco in 1969, where she came out. The women's movement helped her come out. She went up the west coast and worked on the lesbian liberation movement in Portland. She worked there half-time but made enough money so she could do political work as well. She lived there from 1971 to 1975. She discusses A Woman's Place Bookstore. In 1975, she moved to lesbian land in southern Oregon, first to Golden (at that time it was gay men's land) and then to Cabbage Lane. She describes the challenges of living on rustic land. She later moved to Rootworks, which became lesbian land. She helped facilitate the purchase of this land by Jean and Ruth Mountaingrove. In Eugene, she learned cabinetmaking at Lane Community College, and taught woodworking there for many years. She worked as a carpenter for twenty-five years. She also worked in the Women's Center at Lane Community College and with the Women in Transition Program there. LaRosa says she felt sustained by the lesbian community in Eugene, and by the Jewish community as well. She talks about the culture of the lesbian community and about class issues. In retirement, she is a snowbird, spending her winters in Arizona where she is involved with the Lesbian community in addition to working on border and immigration issues.\n\n\nKey terms: Amazon Kung Fu; Baleboostehs; Ballot Measure 8; Ballot Measure 9; Class consciousness; Communal living -- Oregon; Crescent Construction; Lesbian separatism -- Oregon; Lez Dance; Morrigan, Kendra; Peralandra Pearl Divers; Softball; Soromundi Lesbian Chorus of Eugene; Vietnam War, 1961-1975  --  Protest movements  --  United States."]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Agent"]},"value":{"en":["Donna Rose (Interviewee)","Judith L.

My family moved to Cleveland, Ohio when I was about six months old, so I have no connection to Warren, Ohio whatsoever, except it's on all of my legal documents, “Where were you born?” I'm an only child and my mother and father and uncle started a children's clothing store when I was about five, I think, and they named it after me. It was called The Donna Lee Shop and that has followed me almost all my life. If I ever meet anyone who's from Cleveland and Jewish, they probably shopped in The Donna Lee Shop. That's been kind of fun. I lived in Jewish community most of my life and people were sort of upwardly mobile, moving out to the suburbs and we kind of followed that trend somewhat.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378#t=63.23,142.17"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378/transcript/92610/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"My parents got divorced when I was about eight and a half, and my mother was the worker in the family, so she worked all the time I was growing up. One memory that just kind of popped in my mind— I didn't come out until I was much older. Probably around early thirties, but I do remember that I had a girlfriend in junior high school and she used to sleep over a lot. I think that might've been my first lesbian experience, but I kind of blocked it. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I remember something happened. I went to college in Ohio and then I went to graduate school in social work in Boston, Massachusetts. From there, I went down to Washington, D.C. and worked in a settlement house in the ghetto area, the black area of Washington, D.C. I'm pretty sure that my boss there was a lesbian and so were some of the other women she hired. I was a slow learner. It took me a little while to figure it out. I bopped around the East Coast for a while, Boston, Washington, D.C. and then eventually, I moved to San Francisco.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378#t=144.52,225.2"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378/transcript/92610/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Raiskin: Can I just ask you?

I got very frustrated and I decided I needed to move on. The week that I was moving from D.C., I moved back to Boston, there was an event called an anti- inauguration, which was at the same time that Richard Nixon was being inaugurated and it was being put on by the left.

I lived at a little place called Golden that is— two gay men were living there and they had this beautiful loft in the barn and I got to live there. I remember one night when I was there, it looked out on this beautiful field with some low hills and the moon was rising and I was lying there on the floor. I might've been a little stoned and the music was playing and I just remember thinking, “I could die right now. It would be fine.” That was one of my introductions down there. When I was in that area, then I finally moved into Cabbage Lane for a couple of years and I lived with different women. We were a communal collective living together and basically learning how to survive on the land. We had no electricity, no running water, very basic. It was probably one of the best learning experiences of my life.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378#t=788.53,861.44"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378/transcript/92610/annotation/31","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Raiskin: Were you uncomfortable?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378#t=861.92,863.2"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378/transcript/92610/annotation/32","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"LaRosa: Probably on some level, but I was so excited about what I was doing and also it was that time in my life anyway where we were learning that women could do whatever we wanted.

I think that was the blessing in disguise, but it was hard to go through that. Things have changed so drastically about being lesbian and gay in this country. When I was at LCC I actually retired around 2008. I kind of phased out because my mother died and then I had back surgery and I was like, “Okay, I think it's time to do this.” People there started using the word lesbian while I was still working there and I remember every time they do it, I would just kind of— my stomach would just kind of seize up a little bit and then I got used to it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378#t=2449.85,2502.67"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378/transcript/92610/annotation/109","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Raiskin: Were you closeted, would you work there?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378#t=2502.67,2506.09"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1634/collection_resources/56179/file/130378/transcript/92610/annotation/110","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"LaRosa: No, no, no.

No.” One morning she called me up and she was chatting with me and then finally she said, “Well, I had the baby last night” and said, “Oh, thanks for telling me.” I went over when McKenna was three days old and fell in love with her and said, “I'd really like to be in this child's life. I'd like to be her grandma and help take care of her.” Kendra was the one who said, “Well, I think my mother might be a little offended with that, but how— why don't you be her Bubbie,” which is Yiddish for grandma. I'm McKenna's Bubbie and she's now thirty-six years old and has two children, two little girls. I'm an Elta Bubbie. That was wonderful. I always thought I was going to go back to southern Oregon but when I got involved with McKenna here, I was. I was really busy during those years.
