Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes her in an interview by Elizabeth Block on the Bookslut website in February 2006: "I'm an Aquarius with Virgo rising and moon in Taurus. Year of the Ox." [1]. She gives the same info in "Lonely Latitudes: Even After She Finished Writing, Kate Braverman Was Alone With Her Novel" by Paul Ciotti, Los Angeles Times, 29 June 1988, p. F1.
Note: "Contemporary Authors" gives her birth data as 5 February 1950, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Scholfield remarked that "The Moon was in Virgo on that date so she probably means that she has Taurus rising and Virgo Moon. A speculative time of 11 a.m. gives a chart with this combination." This was a mistake. In December 2018 the year was changed to 1949 and the time to 8pm, giving a chart as Braverman describes, with "Virgo rising and moon in Taurus."
