- catalog description "Award-winning author, poet, and social and political activist, June Jordan was born in Harlem, New York, to Granville Ivanhoe Jordan and Mildred Fisher Jordan, both immigrants from Jamaica. Jordan attended public schools in Brooklyn, graduated from Northfield School for Girls in 1953 at age sixteen, and entered Barnard College (1953-1955). There, she met Michael Meyer (a white student at Columbia University). The couple married in 1955 and moved to Chicago. Jordan enrolled in the University of Chicago but within a year returned to New York and re-entered Barnard but withdrew following the birth of her son (and only child), Christopher David, in 1958. She later enrolled in Hunter College (1962), but facing responsibilities of motherhood, left the college before completing her degree. While Jordan's long-distance marriage continued for several years, the couple filed for divorce in 1964 (finalized in 1965).".
- catalog description "During her tenure at UCB, Jordan wrote and published prolifically, her writings continuing to address themes of discrimination, equality, economic and social disparities caused by race and gender, global poverty, religious intolerance, and American foreign policy. An outspoken bisexual, Jordan increasingly championed the rights of lesbians, gays, and bisexuals. Over the course of her career she received many honors, including the Yaddo Fellowship (1979), NEA grant in Creative Writing (1982), National Association of Black Journalists Achievement Award (1984), and the PEN American Center's Freedom to Write Award (1991). Jordan died of breast cancer in Berkeley, California, in 2002.".

- catalog description "Working as a freelance writer to supplement her income, she produced both fiction and nonfiction, and read her poetry at paid engagements. At the same time, Jordan embarked on her pedagogical career, working as a lecturer and adjunct faculty member at several institutions. By the early 1970s Jordan concentrated her efforts more fully on writing and teaching, using her talents to address issues of discrimination based on race and gender, as well other politically controversial issues. She accepted a tenured position at SUNY Stony Brook (1978-1989) where she also served as director of the Poetry Center and the Creative Writing Program. In 1988 she accepted a joint appointment as Professor of African American Studies and Women's Studies at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB).
