Marsha Ablowitz grew up in the rainy city of Vancouver. She studied writing at UBC in the 1960s and realized that her art would not pay bills. She became a mental health social worker, women’s self-defense instructor, traveler, and mountain climber.
Marsha started Vancouver’s first agency-sponsored women’s lib groups, lesbian support groups, and led many women’s survivors groups dealing with physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. She is an original member of Quirk-e. Now she hikes, carves wood, is writing a LGBT2S sci-fi novel, and swims in the ocean year round.
