@[driver8ball:50458] The New York Times offered a clue to the woman in "Outlaw Blues" in a 3/15/24 obituary of Dorie Ann Ladner, "a largely unsung heroine on the front lines of the 1960s civil rights movement in the South," who was born in Mississippi. She had Native American heritage but identified as black. The obituary includes this paragraph: "During her hiatuses from college, Ms. Ladner was serenaded by Bob Dylan in the New York apartment where she helped to plan the 1963 March on Washington. He was said to have been smitten with her and to have alluded to her in his song `Outlaw Blues'I got a woman in Jackson / I ain’t gonna say her name / She’s a brown-skin woman, but I / Love her just the same."
