- Abstract
- Jain was born in 1949 in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up on Long Island. In 1967, she went to Cornell University as a freshman. In college, she experienced sex, drugs, and politics. During her third year in college, she dropped out and went to San Francisco. Jain’s boyfriend Russell joined her there. In San Francisco, her neighbors were Tom and Margaret Cormier. In the Bay Area, Jain did a variety of jobs to support herself. Tom and Margaret moved north, and stayed in Eugene, where they started Starflower Natural Foods & Botanicals with Charlie and Debbie Glass. Jain moved to Eugene and started working at Starflower. She describes working there and the nature of the cooperative. Later, she completed a degree in education at the University of Oregon. She also discusses personal relationships and her work at the Oregon Country Fair.
