They mention two major events that took place that year: the first BWLM Conference in Oxford from 27 February to 1 March which gathered between 500 and 600 participants, many more than expected, and the protest against a Miss World beauty competition held in London on 20 November which brought the attention of the movement into the public and media arena.

  • “A Fully Formed Blast from Abroad?”: Australasian Lesbian Circuits of Mobility and the Transnational Exchange of Ideas in the 1960S and 1970S
    “A fully formed blast from abroad?”: Australasian lesbian circuits of mobility and the transnational exchange of ideas in the 1960s and 1970s In 1973, three Australian women – Kerryn Higgs, Robina Courtin and Jenny Pausacker – returned to Melbourne having spent two years in London. Later the same year, New Zealander Alison Laurie arrived home after a nine-year stint overseas, which included periods of time living in England, Scandinavia and the USA. The return of all four had a catalytic effect on lesbian politics in their home communities. Pausacker, Higgs and Courtin were credited with precipitating a physical and ideological shift away from mixed gay politics toward a feminist perspective on lesbianism. With Laurie’s arrival it appeared that “lesbian feminism hit Aotearoa New Zealand as a fully formed blast from abroad, but fell on fertile ground, among many of the lesbians from gay liberation for starters.”1 Contemporary accounts certainly present the return of all four women as agents of change. To a certain extent their impact can be explained by the personalities of the women themselves. All were intelligent, creative women who continued to shape ideas throughout their lives. As Jenny Pausacker noted: “Kerryn published the first lesbian novel for adults in Australia. I published the first lesbian novel for young adults in Australia, and Robina’s the venerable Robina [a Buddhist nun]. So we were all quite strong personalities, with quite a public focus.”2 Laurie co-founded Sisters for Homophile Equality (SHE) which was the first lesbian organization in Aotearoa New Zealand, pioneered the Lesbian Community Radio Programme on Wellington Access Radio, and brought lesbian studies into the Women’s Studies program at Victoria University in Wellington.3 However, the impact the four women had can also be traced to their respective experiences of travel.

Abstract This thesis is written to promote and pursue an understanding of lesbian fandom and its function on the Internet. It will demonstrate how a particular television text Xena: Warrior Princess (X: WP) and a dedicated online fandom „xenasubtexttalk‟ (XSTT) of diverse lesbian fan membership gained empowerment and agency through their fan practices. Since the screening of the television fantasy series X: WP (1995-2001), there has been a marked increase in academic enquiry into lesbian fan culture on the Internet. This thesis contributes to the lesbian spectatorship of fandom with a specific interest in online fandom. This research suggests there are many readings of X: WP and the dedicated websites set up to discuss the series have increased during and post the series broadcast period.

  • The Postwar Encounter Between Psychiatry and the British Lesbian, 1945–1971
    “The most uninhibited party they’d ever been to”: The Postwar Encounter between Psychiatry and the British Lesbian, 1945–1971 Rebecca Jennings esbian and gay activists and historians of sexuality have long debated L the relationship between psychiatry and homosexuality in Britain. The Counter-Psychiatry Group, founded in London in 1971 by the psy- chiatric social worker Elizabeth Wilson and her partner at the time, the sociologist Mary McIntosh, was one of the first groups to be formed within the emerging Gay Liberation Front (GLF) there. Influenced by the broader antipsychiatry move- ment that had developed in Britain and elsewhere in the 1960s, the group chal- lenged the authority of the psychiatric profession to define or treat homosexuality, rejecting the concept of homosexuality as mental illness and arguing that, instead, it was social attitudes toward homosexuality that should be regarded as irrational and “sick.” Turning to political techniques, the London GLF Counter-Psychiatry Group demonstrated on Harley Street and outside London hospitals such as the Maudsley and the Tavistock Clinic to protest against the use of such forms of psychiatric treatment of homosexuality as aversion therapy, brain surgery, and chemical castration.1 In her oral history of the organization, Lisa Power, a GLF activist at the time, contends that “the gay rejection of the popular, psychiatric diagnosis of homosexuals as sick rather than criminal marked a break with the homophile movement, many of whose adherents had been happy to accept a medical pronouncement that they were unable to help themselves and therefore Rebecca Jennings is a research fellow at Macquarie University, Sydney.

Drawing on original oral histories gathered from ten UK-based, self- identified LGBTQ adults born between 1949 and 1981, it maps from memories of books and reading these narrators’ various material and textual investments, affiliations, identifications and practices. In so doing, it establishes a corpus of fourteen texts of particular significance to these narrators, proposing an alternative history of book-use and reading with specific resonance for LGBTQ individuals.
