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] She was married from 1956 until 1961.[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]

Quotes

“ If feminism has any logic at all, it must be working for a sexless society. ”

[9]

“ The institution of sexual intercourse is anti-feminist. ”

[10]

“ “The price of clinging to the enemy [a man] is your life. To enter into a relationship with a man who has divested himself as completely and publicly from the male role as much as possible would still be a risk. But to relate to a man who has done any less is suicide. . . . I, personally, have taken the position that I will not appear with any man publicly, where it could possibly be interpreted that we were friends.” (Ti-Grace Atkinson, Amazon Odyssey, Links Books, 1974, pp. 90, 91) ”
