Verifiable 3rd party citations needed

This article is nearly entirely sourced from Brown's autobiographical materials. Without other third party references the question of a neutral POV is called into question. For example, Brown's participation in Stonewall is questionable since it is well documented that Martha Shelley was not at the scene despite the cited reference to Brown's autobiography...there is no mention of Brown in David Carter's Stonewall at all and only references to Brown's other activities (Redstockings and Lavender Menace) in Duberman's Stonewall. I'm willing to help to properly verify this article. Pjefts (talk) 23:32, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Sneaky Pie Brown series

I'm surprised that there's not a page devoted to this series. AusJeb (talk) 14:10, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

A Plain Brown Rapper

Many years ago, in the early 70s I think, Brown published a collection of essays titled A Plain Brown Rapper. I read it, so I know it existed but I have not been able to locate a copy. The one I read came from a University library and since I was at that University from 1982 - 1983, it could not have been published after that time. The essays dealt with Brown's time as a member of the Furies and other subjects. This book might shed some light on her activities during the Stonewall era.Elfonleft (talk) 02:37, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Additions I made to article today and yesterday

I apologize that I made so many edits in order to get everything right. By "everything" I mean all the references and text. I had a copy of our subject's 1997 memoir in hand while typing and clicking with my mouse. Still, it was tough. I promise you all the page citations are correct. You can find Ms. Brown's memoir, which is titled Rita Will: Memoir of a Literary Rabble-Rouser, at a library near you, and you can confirm I got the page numbers right for each piece of her information that you find in the article.

If you echo the complaint that another editor added some years ago on this Talk page, a complaint that the article relies heavily on this one source Rita Will, then you should know that it is our only source on her college education and early life. She keeps her own life out of her books, which are all fiction except for a guide for aspiring writers that she issued in the 1980s, and that is ... a guide for aspiring writers, not at all about her life.KathrynFauble (talk) 01:11, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
