She grew up in Tacoma, Washington and attended Washington State University, where she recognized her lesbianism. She discusses the women's consciousness-raising movement in 1969. In 1971, She left for the Bay Area and lived in a lesbian collective, learned the printing trade, and became involved in the counterculture movement. She moved to Eugene and became involved with the lesbian community there and continued her work as a printer. She was involved in the effort to defeat Referendum 51, which would have removed protections for lesbians and gay men. She describes Eugene at that time. She describes her efforts to get pregnant in Ireland with gay sperm donors in 1979. She describes her feminist spirituality, her time spent at the southern Oregon lesbian lands, and her work as a nurse. Kendra concludes her interview by describing the joy of being a lesbian and by talking about marriage equality.\n\nKey terms: Alternative insemination; Artificial insemination, Human; Ballot Measure 9; Cabbage Lane; Collectives; Cooperatives; Counterculture; Dashu, Max; Eugene School District 4J; Gertrude's Café; Grahn, Judy, 1940-; Ireland; Jackrabbit Press; Lesbian identity; Lesbian mothers  --  United States; Lesbian separatism -- Oregon; Nursing; Ordinances, Marxism; Municipal  --  Oregon -- Eugene; OWL Farm; Parenting; Parker, Pat, 1944-1989; Riviera Room; Self-insemination; Spirituality; Transgender people; Vaden, Paula Jo; Wild Iris (restaurant); Wicca; Zoo Zoo's (restaurant)."]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Agent"]},"value":{"en":["Kendra Morrigan (Interviewee)","Judith L.
