Summary:
"Tells the story of Leslie Cohen (a museum curator, a nightclub owner, a limousine driver, and a lawyer, as well as a writer), from her youth in Queens, New York during the 'Mad Men' era of the 1950s, to her young adulthood and coming of age in the turbulent 1960s and 70s. In this evocative memoir, Cohen tells the story of a love that has lasted for over fifty years. Transporting the reader to the pivotal time when brave gay women and men carved out spaces where they could live and love freely, she recounts both her personal struggles and the accomplishments she achieved as part of New York’s gay and feminist communities. Foremost among these was her 1976 cofounding of the groundbreaking women’s nightclub Sahara, which played host to such luminaries as Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Pat Benatar, Ntozake Shange, Rita Mae Brown, Adrienne Rich, Patti Smith, Bella Abzug, and Jane Fonda. 'The Audacity of a Kiss' is a moving and inspiring tale of how love, art, and solidarity can overcome oppression."--From publisher.
