Exhibit: Forsaking and Belonging in Lesbian Communities of the 1970s and 1980s
During the 1970s and 1980s, many enclaves formed in rural locations across the United States, providing a place for women to live, gather, and share in predominantly lesbian communities. Several of these collectives published magazines, showcasing the ideals and experiences of the women both inside and outside of these communities, and how the potential of a lesbian utopia affected their lives.
Drawn from these materials, this Special Collections and Archives exhibit is curated by L&C students Grace Hart ’26, Millie King ’25, and Eliza Roberts ’25. On display on the top floor of Watzek Library through the end of the spring semester.
