Mariette Pathy Allen

14.09.2006

[Note: I have been photographed by Mariette twice (One of them appears in The Gender Frontier - I think). She is a warm, compassionate woman and photographer. She was photographing trans folks long before we were the flavor of the month. If you have a chance to see her work do it. Or, pick up one of her books.]

In cooperation with the Diversity Action Team and Dean of Students Office
Presents:
The Gender Frontier
The evolution of the transgender community through slides and stories.
