Bringing together the diverse threads of my life
Nancy Jane Moore
- Location
- Austin, Texas,
- Bio
- I'm a writer and intellectual who needs physical movement to thrive; a feminist who doesn't feel defined by my gender; a liberal who prefers working class neighborhoods; an Aikido black belt who thinks paying attention is the most important skill of self defense; and a native Texan who lived in Washington, D.C., for many years.
