Personal life and legacy

[edit]

[edit]

Brodine married and divorced fellow dancer John T. Daley in the early 1970s; she later identified as a lesbian. She was diagnosed and later died from breast cancer that metastasized in 1987, at the age of 40, in San Francisco. Her cancer was preventable, but due to doctors at the time her cancer went unnoticed. Up until her death, she continued her interests in feminism, LGBTQIA matters, and current events[1]. Her papers are in the San Francisco Public Library's James C. Hormel LGBTQIA Center. Canadian band Propagandhi quoted a Brodine poem in their song "Letter of Resignation".
