Background: “I was basically a later-in-life lesbian,” says NCAL president Karen Main. She joined NCAL as part of her search for other lesbians she could talk with. An avid reader and writer, Main found solace in having a group of women who can express different views on literature. More than that, she says, “It was finding others and realizing you’re not alone.”
