Lucy Lippard and Miriam Schapiro and Joan Braderman, Joyce Kozloff, I can’t remember all the names… Pat Steir, Joan Snyder. It was a large group of women, and they were just starting Heresies, and they asked me if I wanted to be part of it. It was better than winning the MacArthur. I remember it really saved my life. I was involved, with Steir and others, in making the second issue. I got a lot of women, like Louise Bourgeois, Annette Messager, and others I thought did some interesting work and were funny. They were not deadly serious. Instead, they were funny at being deadly serious. And the thing is, there are all kinds of feminisms. I hate to say, “I’m a feminist, that one’s not a feminist, or that one could hardly be called a feminist.” There are all kinds, and that was from the very early wave of the ’70s. — Ida Applebroog*
