Who is Cassandra Amesley from Rise Up Singing, asks an earlier post.

A Google search turns up
her comment on someone else's blog.
Her comment is dated 2012.

"Iowa's a peculiar state....Lived in Iowa till a few years ago.
I was an organizer and hung out with pols and feminists."

Amesley is a former member of the Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence; Citizens for Community Improvement (said community was Des Moines); a former board member of Iowa Shares, "a workplace giving coalition."

Amesley is a published cultural theorist who around 1990 wrote something called "How to Watch Star Trek." What she wrote, was the results of interviewing and studying people who watch Star Trek episodes. This includes people who attend Star Trek conventions and publish "fanzines."

Don't know where she went to after leaving Iowa.
