Betty and Sheila
Betty and Sheila launched the Bodysex workshops together in the mid-1970s. They were, what Betty called, "Fuck Buddies". Since they only shared masturbation, the lesbians wouldn't accept them as a couple.
Betty as Activist
This is my favorite picture of Betty. She is so determined.
Yoga Betty
She was in her late 40s in this pic but you can see her dedication to health and exercise.
Betty Writing Liberating Masturbation
She wrote her feminist classic Liberating Masturbation in San Francisco blocks from the Castro. Of course she wrote in the nude.
Getting to Know Me
These photos were featured in the Ms. Magazine article "Getting to know Me" which launched Betty's career as a writer.
Betty as Feminist
This is one of my favorite pictures of Betty. She had cut out pieces of felt and created a vulva that she then sewed to the front of her shirt. She'd hit her stride.
The Kiss Part 2
Another photo of Betty and Romeil.
Betty and Romeil
This was the picture that was the inspiration for Betty's drawing "The Kiss".
Betty on Her Roof
Betty would sunbathe nude on the roof of her building. She is becoming the goddess.
Betty on Opening Night
This is Betty on opening night of the Love Picture Exhibition in 1968. There's still some fashionista there.
