Description
An account of the resource
Alma Routsong was born in Michigan in 1924. She served in the WAVES (the U.S. Naval Women’s Reserves) during WWII and graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in art. She moved to New York City in the 1960s and became involved in the gay and lesbian activist community. She became well known for her novels involving lesbian themes. She began to use the pen name of Isabel Miller, which is a combination of the anagram “Lesbia” and her mother’s maiden name. Between 1968 and 1971 she worked as an editor at Columbia University, and from the mid-1970s until 1986 she was a proofreader for Time Magazine.
Routsong was arrested during a police raid of the DOB, of which she was a member of the New York Chapter. She eventually moved to Poughkeepsie with her partner, where she died of ovarian cancer in 1996.

Description
An account of the resource
Karen Anderson Ryer was born in 1945. She grew up in the Midwest and earned several degrees in English literature. Karen came out in 1969 after moving to California, where she became involved with the San Francisco chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis. Living in San Francisco at that time she observed the generational differences between out lesbians, and worked to ensure that the DOB met the needs of all those who came to it.
A self-described “cause fighter,” Karen Anderson Ryer has worked as an attorney and activist for decades. She contributed to and edited Sisters magazine, worked and advocated for lesbian sexual education movies in the 70s, and started Sappho magazine after leaving DOB in late 1972. She has since been a member of other organizations including Bay Area Career Women, Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom (which took over mailing list from Lesbians in Law), was President for two years of the Human Rights Foundation, and has worked on behalf of other women’s causes like Planned Parenthood.

Description
An account of the resource
Martha Shelley interviews Gene Damon aka Barbara Grier, founder of the lesbian magazine The Ladder (1956-1972). They discuss the beginnings of The Ladder and how it evolved from a smaller publication within the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB) into an independent publication. Grier discusses the shift in content as well once the magazine became independent of the Daughters of Bilitis. Grier felt that under DOB they were focused on presenting a clean public image of lesbians to society at large and that this was reflected in what was published in older versions of The Ladder. Once Grier became the editor, she felt it was important to address topics like sexuality, saying “we began running material that deals with sex honestly and forthrightly.”
