“Mad women fight back”; “Bet your ass we’re paranoid” - Psychiatric survivors during a protest in 1976
the woman on the right is Saralinda Grimes, and I believe that this photo may have been taken at the June 29–July 29, 1976 sleep-in in the office of California Governor Jerry Brown enacted by members of Network Against Psychiatric Assault and Women Against Psychiatric Assault, documented in Madness Network News 4, no. 1 (1976). I welcome correction.
in her own words, Saralinda Grimes was a “deaf Native American lesbian feminist” (Madness Network News 4, no. 3 [1977], 9). she was active with Women Against Psychiatric Assault.
(Saralinda Grimes was Cherokee)
