    In addition to the project’s initial publication, a resource book about lesbians who have made a difference and now in its second printing, the project offers school presentations for students, workshops for educators, and a new series of biographical short films about the work of the women profiled in the book.

    The event at Manny’s featured the premiere of two such films and a panel discussion with the subjects of them, Olga Talamante, the first executive director of the Chicana Latina Foundation, and Kate Kendell, the former executive director of The National Center for Lesbian Rights.
