Joan Nestle is a living icon. At 84 years of age her contributions to LGBTIQ+ communities have been numerous and immensely significant. She co-founded both the Gay Academic Union and the Lesbian Herstory Archives in New York, wrote seminal works such as A Restricted Country and A Persistent Desire and to this day, continues her work as an advocate and activist. Joan is part of the extraordinary line-up at this year’s Midsumma writers’ event, Wise Words – A Night of Intergenerational Storytelling, which features a line-up of some of Australia’s most prominent and talented LGBTIQ+ women (trans and non-binary inclusive). 2025 line-up includes MC Sarah Ward, Joan Nestle, Mama Alto, Sez, Hana Assafiri, and Isobel Morphy-Walsh.
