GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE FEBRUARY 23, 1996

cleveland pride, inc. presents Claudia Brenner

In May 1988, on the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania, a horrific shooting attack left twenty-eightyear-old Rebecca Wight dead. Her partner, Claudia Brenner, was seriously wounded. In Eight Bullets: One Woman's Story of Surviving Anti-Gay Violence, Claudia Brenner writes a profoundly personal, emotionally riveting, politically energizing account of the murder and its

aftermath: her path to recovery and activism.

CLAUDIA BRENNER

is an architect who lives with her young child and lesbian family in upstate New York.
