Join us at Aurora’s Santori Library for a conversation about pulp novel author and activist Valerie Taylor on Monday 8/18 at 7 PM! Jen Dentel, Gerber/Hart’s Community Outreach & Strategic Partnerships Manager, will present on Taylor’s life and work. 

Born in Aurora in 1913, Taylor published her first novel in 1953. She became a prolific author of lesbian pulp, publishing 9 lesbian pulp novels between 1957 and 1977. Her first lesbian novel, Whisper Their Love, sold 2 million copies. In addition to her work as an author, Taylor was an activist and poet, and her work is reflected within her novels.
