    “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.

  • Fiuther Indicates That Considerations of Science Fiction That Conceive It As a Col
    Homophile Fictions Fan Writing, Science Fiction, and the Birth of Gay Communities in Post-war America Chris West Science fiction is a natural, in a way, for any kind of radical thought. Because it is about things that have not happened and do not happen. It's very fruitful if you want to pres- ent the concerns of any marginal group, because you are doing it in a world where things are different. I was talking to an ex-Mormon, and she said it was science fiction that had gotten her out of the ethos she had been born into, and she said it was not the characters but the landscapes, which of course was the pi2ce de rksistance in the '30s or in the '40s - those landscapes made her understand that things could be dzfferent. In many social encounters and in many discussions, I've had a terrible time because the one thing my opponents do not have is the sense that things could be different . .. Joanna Russ l It is often asserted - more or less emphatically, with a greater or lesser degree of irritation, and despite or more probably because of the persistence of both popular and elite perceptions to the contrary - that science fiction is a serious business. Frequently science fiction's proponents find themselves explaining that, in spite of the gaudy dust-jackets with their scantily-clad maidens, and in spite of the boy's-own obsession with techno-trickery and techno-babble, sci- ence fiction is in fact a type of cultural production that engages serious politi- cal questions: overpopulation, the threat of nuclear war, genetic engineering, the moral and ethical dilemmas posed by cloning, the possibilities inherent in alternative socio-economic and socio-cultural arrangements, and so on.

    “The Fountain Pen and the Typewriter”: The Rise of the Homophile Press in the 1950s and 1960s Elizabeth Coretto Candidate for Senior Honors in History Oberlin College Thesis Advisor: Renee Romano Submitted Spring 2017 ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments iii Introduction 1 Chapter 1: Pioneer Queer Press in the United States 9 Chapter 2: The Beginning of the Homophile Era 20 Chapter 3: ONE and the Rise of the Queer Press 31 Chapter 4: Diversifying the Queer Press in the Homophile Era 49 Conclusion 70 Bibliography 76 iii Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without Professors Renee Romano and Ari Sammartino. Neither were interested in any sort of hand-holding, and their expectations and matter-of-fact attitudes worked wonders in forcing me to take full responsibility for my work. Their criticisms—at times difficult even to look at, with entire paragraphs crossed out or sentences rewritten in red—have helped forge this thesis into the best possible work I could have accomplished in the seven-odd months I’ve worked on it. Thank you for holding me accountable and pushing me to do better. Thanks also for the moments of therapeutic support which brought me back from cycles of self-pity and self-criticism and kept me going. Much thanks also to the other honors thesis writers: Maurice Cohn, Kaia Diringer, Ian Gilchrist, Lily Posner, and Nate Sher. Our suffering in solidarity reassured me I was not alone in this process, and all your excellent work inspired me to do better. We’ve bonded over confusion regarding footnotes, frustration over sources, and surprisingly difficult grapes.
