Rosemary Woodruff Leary Author

Rosemary Woodruff Leary (1935-2002) was one of the great female psychedelic pioneers of the 1960s. She met Dr. Timothy Leary in 1964, becoming his psychonaut partner at the Millbrook estate and later his wife. After Timothy’s prison break in 1970, Rosemary fled with him to Algeria, beginning a years-long fugitive journey across four continents and nearly 25 years of life underground. David F. Phillips (1944-2020) was a close friend of Rosemary Woodruff Leary for almost 20 years until her death in 2002. After careers as a lawyer and a librarian, he retired to the writer's life, running the website www.radbash.com and authoring several books on a variety of topics.
