A name given to the resource
Buffalo Women's Oral History Project, 1978-1990
Description
An account of the resource
Part-ethnography and part-history, Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold by Madeline Davis and Elizabeth Kennedy is an intimate history of a lesbian community in Buffalo, New York. It combines the ethnographic method of a rigorous study of a single community’s culture and identity, along with the historian’s urge to analyze the specific forces that shape these communities over time. In terms of primary sources, this historical analysis relied on the Buffalo Women’s Oral History Project. This extensive oral history project began in 1978 and extended through the next 13 years. Interview subjects were working-class lesbian women from Buffalo, New York who described their experiences during the period from the mid-1930s to the early 1960s.
These recordings of interviews with working-class lesbians are rich with wisdom, insight and emotion. Interviews discuss a wide range of topics including butch/femme roles, gendered sexuality, relationships, family dynamics, the bar scene, religion, realization of homosexuality, coming out, lesbian mothers, oppression, police brutality, race, gay rights movements, women in the military, youth, and identity. They offer dynamic first-person perspectives of the place and time before the emergence of the gay and lesbian liberation movements. From these stories surface the personal struggles and triumphs of the lesbian community during an intensely oppressive time.
These interviews were donated to the archives by Madeline Davis and Elizabeth Kennedy and were subsequently digitized by students from the Pratt Institute, Projects in Digital Archives class, LIS-665.

Description
An account of the resource
Cindy or Joan (speaker unclear) discusses her experience of growing up in a working class family. She also discusses going to bars as she got older, and her relationships with women. She describes lesbians being harassed by police officers in the past. She also describes how her car was vandalized once, which she thinks was because she is a lesbian.
Speakers' identities are unclear throughout. Recording label identifies Cindy and Joan but it is hard to tell if there are actually two separate speakers.
Sound quality is poor. Tape cuts off abruptly at the end.

Julie Lee was an early and important member of the Daughters of Bilitis. She worked as a secretary and lesbian counselor for the DOB and kept up correspondence with a large number of women from across the United States, advising them on various issues including finding support, coming out, various personal issues, and locating literature, as well as general topics relating to lesbianism. Although she generally told the younger set to wait until they had reached the age of majority before locating and joining a DOB group, her writings invariably reached a large number of lesbians and helped them accept themselves and locate the support and resources they needed.

Description
An account of the resource
Ruth Simpson was raised in Cleveland, OH by her parents Ethel and Edward Simpson, who were pioneers in the labor movement. She graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 1947 with a degree in drama and English. After moving to New York City in 1970 Simpson became president of the New York chapter of DOB, around the same time she came out publicly as a lesbian. During her time at DOB Simpson established one of the first lesbian community centers in the United States. She later authored the book <em>From the Closet to the Courts</em>, which deals with lesbian life and activism. <br /><br />Simpson and her partner of 37 years, Ellen Povill, met at DOB and moved to Woodstock, NY in 1976. She helped organize Woodstock's first gay group and launched a human rights ordinance drive in the town. After becoming a library trustee, Simpson began teaching a seniors’ writing workshop in Woodstock. In 1982, she started producing a weekly public cable talk show on politics called "Minority Report," taping the last show the week before she died in 2008 at the age of 82.

Buffalo Women's Oral History Project, 1978-1990
Description
An account of the resource
Part-ethnography and part-history, Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold by Madeline Davis and Elizabeth Kennedy is an intimate history of a lesbian community in Buffalo, New York. It combines the ethnographic method of a rigorous study of a single community’s culture and identity, along with the historian’s urge to analyze the specific forces that shape these communities over time. In terms of primary sources, this historical analysis relied on the Buffalo Women’s Oral History Project. This extensive oral history project began in 1978 and extended through the next 13 years. Interview subjects were working-class lesbian women from Buffalo, New York who described their experiences during the period from the mid-1930s to the early 1960s.
These recordings of interviews with working-class lesbians are rich with wisdom, insight and emotion. Interviews discuss a wide range of topics including butch/femme roles, gendered sexuality, relationships, family dynamics, the bar scene, religion, realization of homosexuality, coming out, lesbian mothers, oppression, police brutality, race, gay rights movements, women in the military, youth, and identity. They offer dynamic first-person perspectives of the place and time before the emergence of the gay and lesbian liberation movements. From these stories surface the personal struggles and triumphs of the lesbian community during an intensely oppressive time.
These interviews were donated to the archives by Madeline Davis and Elizabeth Kennedy and were subsequently digitized by students from the Pratt Institute, Projects in Digital Archives class, LIS-665.

LHA Daughters of Bilitis Video Project: Barbara Gittings and Kay Tobin, February 20, 1988
Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Barbara Gittings</strong> <br />Barbara Gittings, the daughter of a U.S. Diplomat, was born July 31, 1932 in Vienna, Austria. She grew up in Wilmington, DE. Gittings' first exposure to the Daughters of Bilitis was at one of their meetings during the summer of 1956 during a visit to New York. In 1958, Gittings, along with Marion Glass, established the New York chapter of DOB at the request of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. Through her involvement with DOB, Gittings met and began dating another member, Kay Lahusen (Tobin) who she worked with on many DOB projects. Gittings took on national responsibilities in 1963 when she became the editor of the DOB publication, The Ladder. Under Gittings' leadership, the distribution of The Ladder increased and drew notice from other homophile groups. Gittings' relationship with DOB and The Ladder soured after a few years when her her editorial decisions began to clash with the expectations of other members. She was asked to leave her position in 1966, and began to pursue other interests in activism and homophile research. <br /><br /><strong>Kay Lahusen (Tobin)</strong> <br />Kay Lahusen (pseudonym Kay Tobin) appears very briefly in this digitized interview. Kay was born on January 5, 1930. She spent her childhood in Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to Boston as a young adult to work in the reference library at the Christian Science Monitor. Kay became acquainted with DOB through Richard Robertiello after reading his book <em>Voyage to the Lesbos: The Psychoanalysis of a Female Homosexual</em>. She attended her first DOB meeting in 1961, which is where she met Barbara Gittings. She and Gittings began dating and Kay helped lead the East Coast branch of DOB for the next decade. When Gittings became editor of The Ladder, Lahusen contributed to the publication with her photography skills. She created many portraits of lesbians willing to be featured in the magazine and photographed many homophile activities. In 1972 Kay co-wrote <em>The Gay Crusaders</em> with Randy Wicker, based on a series of interviews with gay and lesbian activists. <br /><br />From Gallo, M.

LHA Daughters of Bilitis Video Project: Del Martin & Phyllis Lyon, 1987
Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Del Martin</strong> <br />Del Martin (Dorothy Erma Corn) was born on May 5, 1921 in San Francisco. After studying journalism, Martin met Phyllis Lyon on a reporting job in Seattle in 1950 and moved in together in San Francisco in February of 1953. In September 1955, a woman named Rose Bamberger approached Del and Phyllis to inquire about starting a club for lesbians—it would be the first of its kind in the U.S.—a social and political club for lesbians. The founders agreed to name it after “Song of Bilitis,” the collective title for Pierre Louys’s poems about lesbian sexuality. Martin was its first president in 1955, national president from 1957-1960, and editor of DOB’s publication, The Ladder, from 1960-1962. She and Lyon started the first DOB national convention in 1960. As Martin stated, the Daughters of Bilitis were "fighting the church, the couch, and the courts.” She and Lyon pushed for legislation reform at a time when homosexuals were criminalized. In 1964, they created the Council on Religion and the Homosexual (CRH). One of Martin’s most famous writings in The Ladder was “If That’s All There Is,” a 1970 piece against sexism in the gay rights movement. Members of the National Organization for Women since 1967, Martin and Lyon worked to combat homophobia within NOW in 1971 and 1973. Martin was elected to NOW’s board of directors as the first out lesbian. DOB folded in 1970, but two years later, Lyon and Martin published their famous Lesbian/Woman. They also started the Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club in 1972, “the first gay political club in the United States.” Martin’s hard work over the years resulted in the American Psychiatric Association’s 1973 decision that homosexuality was not an illness. She attacked domestic violence in Battered Wives in 1976 and catalyzed a movement and the creation of several organizations combatting domestic violence. She was also chair of the San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women from 1976-1979. She and Lyon were lifelong members of the American Civil Liberties Union. They were members of numerous other organizations including in 1989 Old Lesbians Organizing for Change. In 1987, Del received a Doctorate from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. A documentary about Martin and Lyon was released in 2003. After their 2004 marriage was declared null, they married again in May 2008. Del Martin died on August 27, 2008 in San Francisco. <br /><br /><strong>Phyllis Lyon</strong> <br />Phyllis Lyon was born on November 10, 1924 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She earned a B.A. in journalism at the University of California at Berkeley. She was the secretary in the newly formed Daughters of Bilitis in 1955, and she edited The Ladder from 1956 to 1960. In 1957, Lyon famously did away with her pen name, Ann Ferguson, editing the magazine under her real name. Lyon worked at the Glide Foundation and the National Sex and Drug Forum (1968), where she did workshops and wrote and distributed lesbian-positive sex education materials. She helped found the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in 1976. She fought against the banning of gay and lesbian teachers in 1978. She engaged in numerous other activities with her partner, Del Martin. <br /><br />Citations:<br /><br />Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon (n.d.). In Wikipedia.

Born on December 7, 1929 in Missouri, Billye Talmadge was raised by her mother in Oklahoma. She completed her education early and began her teaching career at 21. She took jobs in Tacoma, Seattle and Oakland, eventually moving to San Francisco where she began her involvement with the Daughters of Bilitis, with Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, to provide education to its member and the general public.

Description
An account of the resource
Lois Beeby was born in 1932. She attended a teacher’s program at a Southern Baptist college and also trained to be a licensed vocational nurse. She became involved with the Daughters of Bilitis in the Bay Area San Francisco chapter and served as an officer, vice president and President of DOB for three years. She was involved in distribution of the Ladder, and developing a number of the social activities in the group, including a book club, softball team, bowling league and pool tournament. As Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin were moving the DOB towards becoming a group focused on social action, Beeby wanted to break off and form a separate East Bay chapter that just remained focused on social activities. She felt that many of the members were not as interested in becoming political, but used the group to be part of a social community. After a vote the separate East Bay chapter was denied and she left DOB. She was later involved with several other lesbian groups (NOVA, Peninsula Women’s Group) in a limited capacity.

LHA Daughters of Bilitis Video Project: Arcus Flynn, 1987
Description
An account of the resource
Arcus Flynn was born in March of 1939. She grew up in an Irish working class family in a New York City tenement. Raised Catholic and pressured to marry by her family, she decided to join a Dominican convent. Joining with the minimum dowry, she encountered class problems at the convent, where she was used mostly as a worker. Overworked, she became seriously ill and wound up leaving the convent after 5 years.
Returning home, Arcus decided to join nursing school at the New York Family Hospital. Suffering from depression and isolation, and unable to come out as a lesbian to her family and friends, Arcus discovered the Daughters of Bilitis group and began to attend meetings where she found a much needed sense of community and friendship. She later became involved with the Women’s Movement in the 1970s. For International Women’s day in 1973, Arcus helped to create a huge purple dinosaur which they wheeled to AMNH as part of a demonstration for women’s rights.
Finding no relief in traditional prescription medicines for her own health issues she turned to natural remedies. While attending lab tech school she embarked on her study of herbology at the Tree of Life Bookstore and Education Center in Harlem. She opened her own school of herbology at St Mark’s Clinic and later opened the Meadowstreet Herbal Apothecary on E4th Street on the Lower East Side of NYC. Arcus Flynn currently lives in Ghent, New York with her partner of over 30 years.

LHA Daughters of Bilitis Video Project: Stella Rush & Helen Sandoz, 1987
Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Stella Rush<br /></strong>Stella Rush was born on April 30, 1925 in Los Angeles, CA. She briefly worked for Firestone Tire and Rubber and was a member of the ACLU. Stella Rush and Helen Sandoz met and fell for each other at a ONE Inc. meeting in Los Angeles in 1957. Del and Phyllis encouraged Sandoz to keep an eye on Rush and make sure she got to the Daughters of Bilitis meetings. Rush started with The Ladder in 1957. She wrote “reports of conferences, seminars and research” for both ONE Magazine and The Ladder. She eventually wrote poetry for The Ladder as well. Stella Rush and Helen Sandoz moved in with each other in 1958. Rush was the Los Angeles Daughters of Bilitis co-founder. When the Los Angeles chapter began, Rush was the first treasurer, a position she held for 6 years. She helped the Daughters of Bilitis connect with organizations ONE and Mattachine. Her final meeting was the convention in Denver in 1968. Rush became very angry when Grier continued sending Sandoz articles and assignments to Sandoz when Sandoz had already quit The Ladder. In 1969, “we had huge fights about that,” she says. “After Denver, we had promised each other that it was our time for ourselves.” That summer they retired from activism. Stella Rush survived Helen Sandoz and lives in Southern California. <br /><br /><strong>Helen Sandoz</strong> <br />Helen Sandoz, Stella Rush’s partner, was born on November 2, 1920 in Oregon. After receiving her Bachelor's Degree, she had a supervisory position in department stores in Washington and Oregon. She later became a sign painter because of an accident that would not let her sit for a long time. She discovered the Daughters of Bilitis when she moved to San Francisco. “Sandy” joined the Daughters of Bilitis in 1956, when she also became “Assistant to the Editor” of The Ladder.” When the Daughters of Bilitis received its charter in 1957, Sandy was one of those who signed. She worked for The Ladder and the Daughters of Bilitis for fifteen years, designing covers and reporting on conventions. She became president of the Daughters of Biltis in February 1957. She was also the first president of the Los Angeles Daughters of Bilitis Chapter. She was briefly editor of The Ladder in 1966. She helped Jaffy publicize a study of ‘Attitudes of Mental Health Professionals Toward Homosexuality and Its Treatment’. She wanted nothing to do with NOW, whose goals she applauded, but not their rhetoric. She concentrated on getting rights for both gay men and lesbians. At the end of 1968, she spoke up about supporting “civil rights for all people,” not just homosexuals. “Despite her years of experience in the homophile movement, Sandoz articulated a belief in individual and human rights that crossed generational, racial and sexual lines.” Sandoz died of lung cancer on June 7, 1987 in Anaheim. <br /><br />**Gallo, M.M.
