Today’s guest is the epitome of laying down the path to provide her family their desires over maintaining historical expectations. After the birth of her son and with burning desire to gift him the foundation and education that would foster his true purpose and spirit, she was a sent on a mission to find a school that aligned with her intention. After quickly realizing that there was no school in her community that offered the beliefs and criteria she wanted, Mary McIntosh discovered Acton Academy only to realize they did not have a school in New Hampshire, let alone New England. With the support and encouragement of her husband, Mary spent the best part of two years to become the founder and owner of New Hampshire’s exclusive Acton Academy, opening their first school year in the Fall of 2019. Join our conversation as she shares her journey of laying down her leadership as the 3rd generation owner of a family business, designing a business to support her lifestyle and the legacy she inspires to create  for her children and how this journey has connected her back to honoring her true calling since she was a child, building community.

Total Pivot with Mary McIntosh

A Dorothy Project first, as Alice speaks to our first male interviewee - Andrew Lumsden, who was a key part of the UK Gay Liberation Front in the 1970s. They discuss the life and work of his Gay Liberation Front comrade Mary McIntosh. TLDR: she sounds like an absolute baller.   Mary was an academic as well as an activist, and her contribution to the rights held by British gay men today is massive. In 1968, she published an academic paper arguing that homosexuality is not a psychiatric or medical condition, based on a survey she conducted of gay men in Leicester and London. In her time on the Criminal Law Revision Committee, she advocated for the lowering of the age of consent for gay men. She also studied the letters of gay prisoners from the 16th century onwards, observing the 18th century gay subculture of ‘mollies’.  Mary and her partner Elizabeth Wilson contributed to founding and shaping the direction of the London Gay Liberation Front. Throughout her life McIntosh continued to forge links between the gay liberation movement, the women's movement and lesbian movements.
