 Notater:
Her spouse, Ingrid Nyeboe, said Johnston died Saturday at Hartford Hospital from
complications from a stroke she suffered earlier this month. The couple lived in
Sharon, Conn. Johnston began as a Village Voice dance critic in 1959. Her
website said she adopted a "daring, experimental" writing style in the late
1960s in her weekly cultural column, a style she said she later tried to undo.
Her 1973 book, "Lesbian Nation: The Feminist Solution," challenged
male-dominated society and has been described as a "bible for militant
feminists." Funeral arrangements are pending.

ratist movement of the early

Shestarted as a dance crit-
