Talk:Ti-Grace Atkinson

message: _ _ I distinctly recall (not just "pretty sure") reading in Time magazine, before 1970, an article that more or less announced (i.e., my wording) "there's something new called feminism" and "one of its leaders is Ti-Grace Atkinson", that said Ti-Grace was what she was called, by her family or during childhood in general, and that it derived from "petit Grace". I don't recall if there was another Grace in her circle, nor whether "Ti-" (or was it "ti-" or " 'ti-"?) was a widely used Louisiana or New Orleans prefix (as  suggests in her context).
_ _ This is consistent with "tigress" reflecting her 
: liking the pun, and creating misunderstandings by mentioning it, or 
: intentionally misleading a reporter she disliked to embarrass them, or 
: becoming embarrassed about the unpowerful sound of "little Grace" and either lying about, or being selective in talking about, her name.
IMO we need more info before restoring a version of 
:She changed her name to Ti-Grace in reference to the name for a female tiger, a tigress.

thread_title:  Her name 

message: She's cited as being a member of the New York Chapter in the book From the Closet to the Courts by Ruth Simpson, a former President of DOB NY.
I see that there is a request for citation on her being a member of the Daughters of Bilitis (a claim that someone, not me, added). I'm not sure about her being a member of the Daughters of Bilitis, but Queer Heritage - A Timeline - The Seventies, which seems well-researched, says that on January 3, 1971, "Ti-Grace Atkinson advocates political lesbianism -- a total and exclusive commitment to women that may or may not include sex -at a Daughters of Bilitis New York meeting." So she at least addressed them. - Jmabel | Talk 07:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Daughters of Bilitis 

message: Somebody needs to write about her alleged affair with mobster Joseph Colombo (who had a wife and another mistress), which seriously damaged her reputation in the feminist movement.    She writes about Colombo in her book Amazon Odyssey, and it is mentioned in Marcia Cohen's excellent The Sisterhood (pages 200-201).--Susan Nunes 22 February 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.228.62.184 (talk) 01:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Affair with Joseph Colombo

message: I was a little surprised that there's no mention of Ti-Grace's background in philosophy in this entry. At some point (prior to founding The Femininists?) she entered Columbia as a PhD student with a focus in philosophical logic and Frege in particular. She apparently did not receive the degree, as indicated on her faculty page at Tufts (where she was teaching several years ago).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony Mohen (talk • contribs) 13:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Philosophy

message: This woman was a formative figure in the early history of modern feminism, and THIS is all anyone can come up with on her? Did she fall off the world in 1974? In the information age, how does a woman of Ti-Grace Atkinson's stature become an unperson? Surely somebody has some sources on what she did and what happened to her between '74 and today.

message: A mention of the encounter between Atkinson and Bozell was removed awhile ago.  It is present in the article for Patricia Bozell.  Would anyone object to its inclusion here again with proper sourcing?  Sephiroth9611 (talk) 16:50, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
