Ti-Grace Atkinson (born 9 November 1938, Baton Rouge, Louisiana as Grace Atkinson) is an American feminist author.[1]
Atkinson was born into a prominent Louisiana family. The "Ti" in her name reflects the Cajun or French language petite, for little.[2] From 1956 until 1961 she was married to a high-school boyfriend.[3]
She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1964.[4] She joined the National Organization for Women, became its New York chapter's president in 1967[5], then in 1968 left[6] and founded The Feminists, a radical feminist group active until 1973. By 1971 she had written several pamphlets on feminism, was a member of the Daughters of Bilitis and was advocating specifically political lesbianism.[7] Her most famous book, Amazon Odyssey was published in 1974.[8]
