Psychedelic Refugee: The League for Spiritual Discovery, the 1960s Cultural Revolution, and 23 Years on the Run - Paperback

In this gripping memoir by one of the original female psychedelic pioneers of the 1960s, Rosemary Woodruff Leary shares her story. She is most known for her early experimentation with psychedelics in the 1950s, her development through the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s, and her involvement - at first exciting but then heartbreakingly disastrous - with Dr. Timothy Leary. In Psychedelic Refugee, she shares the details that go beyond the initial facts, detailing her LSD experiences, her decades as a fugitive hiding both abroad and underground in America, and her encounters with many leaders of the cultural and psychedelic milieu of the 1960s. Compiled from both her own letters and her autobiographical writings archived among her papers at the New York Public Library, this gripping account truly encapsulates the seismic cultural changes of the 60s - all from the perspective of a woman who was at the very center of it.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
