THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

Holly Near

“I don’t think I’ll ever see the world or read a newspaper or see a film or read a book or have a conversation with an elder or a five-year-old without it going through this lens of the last 40 or 50 years of my involvement in feminism.”

Singer, Songwriter, Activist, Actor and Author. 

Interviewed by Judy Waxman, December 2021
