Women's Art Colony Farm

[1] One year later, in 1971, Millett—along with future wife, photojournalist Sophie Keir—bought 10 acres of land and buildings in LaGrange, New York, a small town in Dutchess County and close to Poughkeepsie.

[4] Women applied to work at The Farm, also paying a small fee for food, in exchange for room, board and studio space.

In the early days, said Linda Clarke, an old friend, neighbors would complain about the nudity and call the police, until Ms. Millett won them over.

[4] In 2012, Millett won a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts to, in-part, create an archive of The Farm.

[2] The book includes photographs by Michelle Koals and Jane Winter, past residents of The Farm, as well as archival artifacts.
