• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  Frances Rand (1960-) grew up on Sydney's northern beaches, studying at Brigidine College, St Ives, then at Macquarie University, graduating with a degree in communications in 1984. She is best known as the founding publisher of Lesbians on the Loose, which she also edited throughout the 1990s.
