Biographical / historical:
Joan Denman grew up in Los Angeles, CA, and went to college at the University of California, Santa Barbara (B.A. Sociology, 1972). She earned her M.A. in History (specializing in Public History) from Florida State University in 2001, and was Senior Archivist and Historian for the Institute on World War II at Florida State University from 2001 until her retirement in 2012. She worked at a bookstore in West Virginia before moving to Huntsville, AL, and opening her first bookstore, a very popular and successful used bookstore called The Booklegger (still in operation in 2016). After meeting Naiad Press publisher Barbara Greer at an American Booksellers' Association convention, she decided to move to Tallahassee, FL, and start a feminist bookstore. During the thirteen years that she owned and managed Rubyfruit Books (1983-96), she became involved in the Feminist Bookstore Network and served on the FB-Net national board that was set up in 1991.
