Profile: Annalee Stewart

It was funny because, even though we both were very close with one another, we continued just a little bit of dating. It was like, “Well, this is really only until Mr. Right comes along.” We really hadn’t given up that notion that we had been raised with – you know, gals get married.

Abstract:
Annalee was born to two Methodist ministers and at one point, studied to be the same. Realizing this was the wrong course for her, she changed schools and became a social worker. Working for the state of MN, Annalee was the first woman supervisor of parole officers. She and her partner also became the first “single” women in the state to adopt foreign children. Later in her career, Annalee became a professor at the University of MN. Throughout her life, she was an activist and pacifist. She was arrested several times protesting Honeywell’s role in making landmines and was a staple at almost every demonstration involving civil rights. Annalee served for many years on the OLOC Steering Committee and has spoken publicly dozens of times on the subject of ageism and on the challenges of aging in the LGBT population.

Note sent to the OLOHP: What you have done is so important that I think even you don’t understand it. This will have a life of its own and be around way after we are gone. To have thought this up, seen the need, and assumed the effort to get it done is phenomenal. I really do salute you.
TF says: The women that the OLOHP has brought to us have lived remarkable lives, often solitary and private, and we are far richer for knowing these women, their struggles and their passion.
