Author
Mountaingrove, Ruth
Ruth Mountaingrove (1923-2016) was a feminist lesbian, poet and writer, publisher and photographer who lived and worked with many of the intentional communities of Southern Oregon before moving to Arcata, California where she took on two more degrees and was a very active member of the community. Mountaingrove published poetry, articles, photographs and feminist/lesbian magazines. Her work archived at the University of Oregon contains correspondence, diaries, manuscripts, music, publishing material and photographs. Her early photographs captured a wide variety of subjects, moods and activities through ceremonies, rituals and daily life inside the intentional communities of Oregon and later became artistic abstracts and experiments with light and dark.
