Cathy Cade, a pioneering photographer and activist, produced the influential book 'A Lesbian Photo Album: The Lives of Seven Lesbian Feminists' in 1987, highlighting same-sex female relationships.
While she never broke into the mainstream, Cade was a prominent figure in the San Francisco Bay Area women's movement, covering not just LGBTQ issues but also protests related to nuclear weapons and environmental challenges.
Cade turned to photography in 1971, motivated by her coming out as a lesbian, and faced significant challenges to get her work published, ultimately self-publishing her acclaimed photo album.
Despite the struggles for recognition and mainstream success, Cade's work left a lasting impact on feminist and gay-rights movements, showcasing authentic voices and relationships in her photography.
