From Jorjet Harper at the now-defunct Chicago gay and lesbian newspaper, the Windy City Times:[1]

"The first newspaper I contributed to in Chicago, after moving here from New York in 1979, was a little feminist periodical called Blazing Star.

Judy MacLean, Hannah Frisch, Chris Riddiough and Elaine Wessel were the core members of the Blazing Star group.
