  • Cultivating the Daughters of Bilitis Lesbian Identity, 1955-1975
    “WHAT A GORGEOUS DYKE!”: CULTIVATING THE DAUGHTERS OF BILITIS LESBIAN IDENTITY, 1955-1975 By Mary S. DePeder A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University December 2018 Thesis Committee: Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk, Chair Dr. Kelly A. Kolar ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I began my master’s program rigidly opposed to writing a thesis. Who in their right mind would put themselves through such insanity, I often wondered when speaking with fellow graduate students pursuing such a goal. I realize now, that to commit to such a task, is to succumb to a wild obsession. After completing the paper assignment for my Historical Research and Writing class, I was in far too deep to ever turn back. In this section, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the following individuals who followed me through this obsession and made sure I came out on the other side. First, I need to thank fellow history graduate student, Ricky Pugh, for his remarkable sleuthing skills in tracking down invaluable issues of The Ladder and Sisters. His assistance saved this project in more ways than I can list. Thank-you to my second reader, Dr. Kelly Kolar, whose sharp humor and unyielding encouragement assisted me not only through this thesis process, but throughout my entire graduate school experience. To Dr. Susan Myers- Shirk, who painstakingly wielded this project from its earliest stage as a paper for her Historical Research and Writing class to the final product it is now, I am eternally grateful.

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.
