After Schlesinger finished school, she started to create "protest art."

1970

Her mother and father were divorced in 1970.

The divorce created a desire in Schlesinger to "get away" and she had her own things to say.

1971

Schlesinger came out as a lesbian in Venice, California and found the Chicano community to be supportive of her.

Schlesinger chose the name Romaine Brooks.

In the 1990s Schlesinger created "explicitly erotic work."

During the 1990s, it was very taboo for lesbians to bring up issues of sexualty, and many felt as if they were "forced into hiding."

Schlesinger boldly depicted lesbians (including portraits of herself) wearing dildos and penetrating other women.

Schlesinger was interested in "representing female masculinity" and "refuting the notion that the artist's erotic gaze is exclusively male."

Her work was also very much about embracing and celebrating her sexuality.

2008
