She is best known for her first novel Rubyfruit Jungle.
In the 1960s, she participated in the anti-war movement, the feminist movement and the Gay Liberation movement.
When she was a member of The Furies Collective, a separatist lesbian feminist collective in Washington, DC, she held that heterosexuality was the root of all oppression.
Brown once said for the Time magazine that  "I don't believe in straight or gay. I really don't. I think we're all degrees of bisexual". In addition  Brown also does not consider herself a "lesbian writer" because she believes art is about connection and not about divisive labels.
