Hanover, who died in January 2011, was a significant leader in Chicago’s LGBT movement from the 1960s until she moved to California a few years ago; she opened what is believed to be the first law office in the U.S. focused on women's issues, was believed to be the first "out" lesbian attorney in the county and defended important legal cases and clients. People interested in speaking at the memorial should e-mail Tracy Baim at editor@windycitymediagroup.com.
