Biographical Note
Cathy Cade is an Oakland, California-based photographer who has been documenting the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities since the 1970s. She is the author, publisher and photographer of A Lesbian Photo Album: The Lives of Seven Lesbian Feminists (Oakland, Ca: Waterwomen Books, 1987).
Cade grew up during the advent of integration and participated in the Southern Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. She moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 1970 and was a part of the Women's Liberation Movement. During this time she came out as a lesbian and began to document the people and the movements around her. In the late 1970s she had her first child and in 1985 her second. During this time Cade worked on her book of photographs and interviews, A Lesbian Photo Album .
In the 1990s Cade taught photography in high school and learned to hand-color photos. Her "next day job was with a nonprofit that helps people with disabilities living in developing countries design and build wheelchairs. [She] attended the international women's conference in Beijing out of which has grown an international women's wheelchair building program. In the late 1990s [Cade] started leading a support group for artists." Biographical information above excerpted and quoted from www.CathyCade.com.
