Lola Miesseroff

Lola Miesseroff was destined to join the struggle against "the old world." Born in 1947 in Marseilles, her Russian-speaking émigré parents ran the local nudist colony, where men were allowed to be feminine, women masculine. Lola's"degendered childhood" and libertarian upbringing put her on course to be a lifelong rebel. Coming of age during the wildness of "the long 1968," her life has been a trip through experiments in communal living, free love, radical feminisms, and oppositional communisms. Lola is the author of Travels on the Outer-Left, collected memories of veteran 1968ers. And she is a lifelong proponent of sexual freedom and polyamory as a weapon integral to the revolutionary life.
