Founded in [[Kensington, California]] 1977, the '''Kensington Ladies' Erotica Society''' was an erotic writers' group whose aims were to create [[erotic literature]] written for women, by women. Founded by Sabina Sedgewick, members also included: Rose Solomon, Bernadette Vaughan, Nell Port, and Elvira Pearson (all [[Pseudonym|pseudonyms]]).
Sabina Sedgewick at the time was a librarian cataloging erotica for the UC Berkeley's [[Bancroft Library]] and found herself asking if women found erotic literature as appealing as men did. She asked this question aloud at a New Year's faculty party at her home and future member, Nell Port, encouraged her to form a group on the basis of that question. The group originally began as an erotic reading group, however, after dutifully reading [[Anaïs Nin|Anais Nin]], [[Henry Miller]], [[Nancy Friday]] and others, along with ''[[Penthouse (magazine)|Penthouse]]'', ''[[Playboy]]'' and ''Chic'', the newly formed group decided that none of it spoke to contemporary American women. Sabina urged them to try their hand at writing their own erotic fantasies.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The group would meet monthly, sharing their poems, short stories, recipes, and more. Although not originally intending to publish, member Rose Solomon accumulated the group's writings, and by 1983 there was enough for their first book.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The Society's final publication, ''Sex, Death, and Other Distractions'' was published in 2002 by [[Ten Speed Press]] in Berkeley, California.
