  • Katy Shannahan Edited
    1 Katy Shannahan OUHJ 2013 Submission The Impact of Failed Lesbian Feminist Ideology and Rhetoric Lesbian feminism was a radical feminist separatist movement that developed during the early 1970s with the advent of the second wave of feminism. The politics of this movement called for feminist women to extract themselves from the oppressive system of male supremacy by means of severing all personal and economic relationships with men. Unlike other feminist separatist movements, the politics of lesbian feminism are unique in that their arguments for separatism are linked fundamentally to lesbian identification. Lesbian feminist theory intended to represent the most radical form of the idea that the personal is political by conceptualizing lesbianism as a political choice open to all women.1 At the heart of this solution was a fundamental critique of the institution of heterosexuality as a mechanism for maintaining masculine power. In choosing lesbianism, lesbian feminists asserted that a woman was able to both extricate herself entirely from the system of male supremacy and to fundamentally challenge the patriarchal organization of society.2 In this way they privileged lesbianism as the ultimate expression of feminist political identity because it served as a means of avoiding any personal collaboration with men, who were analyzed as solely male oppressors within the lesbian feminist framework. Political lesbianism as an organized movement within the larger history of mainstream feminism was somewhat short lived, although within its limited lifetime it did produce a large body of impassioned rhetoric to achieve a significant theoretical 1 Radicalesbians, “The Woman-Identified Woman,” (1971). 2 Charlotte Bunch, “Lesbians In Revolt,” The Furies (1972): 8.

  • GLF-DC Join the April 1971 March Led by Vietnam Veterans Against the War
    Ideology and action in a young movement: the Gay Liberation Front, Washington, D.C., 1970-72, produced by Brian Miller and Steve Behrens On Pennsylvania Avenue, members of GLF-DC join the April 1971 march led by Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Front row, left to right: David Anson Reinhart, Billy Maximum, Michael Ferri, David Duty and Kent Jarratt. GLF-DC: Rabble with a cause After New York’s Stonewall riots in 1969, the first gay activists to burst out across the country called themselves “the Gay Liberation Front.” This document recounts the brief career of GLF-DC, the capital city’s manifestation of that movement. GLF-DC was active between 1970 and 1972. Its participants sparked newsworthy pro- tests against psychiatrists’ and churches’ homophobic stands on homosexuality, as well as gay bars’ exclusion of black, female and cross-dressing customers. And some of the activists went on to start longer-lasting gay community institutions in the city. The activists’ objectives and tactics were inspired by the Black Power, antiwar and women’s rights movements. Its members were white and black, street and suburban, men and . Well, most of the gay women didn’t hang around for long; they fig- ured most GLF men were not ready for feminism. Like gay liberationists in other cities, GLF-DC members showed the straight world that gay men and women were here, as we are everywhere. They tried to help victims of the prevail- ing homophobia to heal their psychic wounds. And they urged those gay men and lesbians to come out proudly, to demand to be acknowledged, and to shout what the dominant society had hushed for centuries.

  • “That Women Could Matter”: Building Lesbian Feminism in California, 1955-1982
    “That Women Could Matter”: Building Lesbian Feminism in California, 1955-1982 By Chelsea Nicole Del Rio A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Emeritus Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez, Chair Associate Professor Rebecca M. Kluchin, California State University, Sacramento Associate Professor Matthew D. Lassiter Associate Professor Rachel Neis Associate Professor Gayle S. Rubin Dedicated to Millie and Ernie Taylor, and to Gaby, who continue to be my home though they are now gone, and to the many women, past and present, who inspired this work. ii Acknowledgements “‘That Women Could Matter’” feels to me deeply personal and at the same time so much bigger than me. In spite of work done mostly in solitude, save for my cats demanding their supper, this project would not have been possible without the help, support, and encouragement offered by so many during my Ph.D. path. First, my thanks to my dissertation committee. I have been fortunate to learn from and be guided by smart, supportive faculty: Regina Morantz-Sanchez, Matthew Lassiter, Rachel Neis, Gayle Rubin, and Rebecca Kluchin. Gina quickly jumped into the role of advisor when I unexpectedly found myself in need of one right in the middle of prelims and has continued to ensure I have a champion in my corner. From our first encounters Gina has pushed me to consider the broader implications of lesbian feminism and how it has changed modern society. Thank you for endlessly repeating the promise you see in the work I do.
