Sarah Schulman and Urvashi Vaid, both born in 1958, have significantly influenced queer activism through their commitment to justice and solidarity. Despite their work in different sectors, their lives and careers were intertwined, showcasing the personal roots of political struggles. They are complemented by the release of Vaid's book, 'The Dream of a Common Movement,' which emphasizes unity in the LGBTQ+ struggle. Vaidâs writings focus on building common ground, reflecting the urgency and impact of their activism, especially amid the loss within the lesbian community.
Both Sarah Schulman and the late Urvashi Vaid were born in 1958 - Schulman a fiery Leo to Vaid's more balanced Libra, or so the stars say.
As a lesbian who has witnessed too many lesbians dying far too young, it is impossible not to observe how both have undergone illness - Vaid's fatal - that has permeated and given urgency to their work.
The purpose of the collection is to present 'Urvashi's vision for achieving the dream of a common movement from a queer lens.'
