Her family moved to rural Pennsylvania. She describes the social scene in school. Basja was a tomboy and played sports. Hers was the only Jewish family in the area, and she experienced discrimination, especially at Christmas and Easter. Her parents were disappointed that she did not behave in typical feminine ways. She went to Antioch College and then to library school at Drexel University. The women's movement helped her follow her own path. In 1977, she moved to Eugene, and initially stayed at Trudy's Ranch out on Hamm Road. She began work for the Lane County Library system, operating the bookmobile program. She discusses the qualities of the community in Eugene. When the bookmobile program ended, she moved to Portland. She began working for the Washington County Library System. She put together an extensive bibliography of lesbian books in the library system. She discusses marriage equality and the assimilation of lesbians in the community. Basja went to a festival at the We'Moon lesbian land; she discusses the music, workshops, discussions on the future of lesbian separatism, and trans issues. She concludes her interview by discussing aging issues.\n\nKey terms: Baleboostehs; Bars (Drinking establishments)  --  Oregon -- Eugene; Bryant, Anita; Cassidy, Gertrude; Judaism; Lesbians of a Certain Age (LOCA); Librarianship; Riviera Room."]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Agent"]},"value":{"en":["Basja Samuelson (Interviewee)","Judith L.

I lived there, grew up there, went to school there, and first grade through twelfth grade all in the same building, quite rural community. It was great as a child because I got to be outdoors a lot. And I had a friend who was in 4- H, so her dad had the farm and we'd go there and play in the farm and he gave us each a newborn calf to raise. And we were in the 4- H and went around to the different fairgrounds and showed the animals and that was great. And then, after I graduated, I went to college in Ohio.
