Title 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.

She also discusses the effects of McCarthyism in the 1950s on her lesbian communities, as well as how she gained political consciousness growing up with the Brown v. Board of Education case, as well as by living near the Women’s House of Detention in the Lower East Side and seeing Black incarcerated women for the first time.

Lorde touches on what her apartments were like and the rent situation of the area, as well as scrouging together food to share with her communities as a poor person. Then, Lorde discusses the multiple lives lesbians of the time had to live and the incredible gift that integrating every aspect of herself was as she got older. She touches on the Stonewall Riot, as well as the way she had to stop arbitrarily dividing aspects of herself to make others more comfortable.

Title A name given to the resource WBAI Radio Programs, circa 1970s Description An account of the resource This collection consists of over a hundred recorded broadcasts from WBAI public radio, captured on compact audio cassettes by an unknown individual (or individuals). The tapes were likely dubbed from open reel masters before being moved to the Pacifica Radio Archives.  The tapes contain programs that are specific to feminism and lesbian communities, capturing the cultural and political conversations of the time. The collection includes panels, interviews, and listener Q&A with influential feminist writers, artists, poets, activists, and other cultural figures. Notable interviewees include Audre Lorde, Rita Mae Brown, Margaret Walker, and many others, along with medical professionals, journalists, and legal scholars.  Themes commonly explored include women’s health and body autonomy, activism, and gender norms. The programs also highlight women in music, the arts, and the ongoing fight for inclusivity and legal reforms. They served as a crucial platform for spreading information about LGBTQ+ and women’s events, informing women of their rights, promoting feminist and lesbian activism, and encouraging community and “consciousness raising.”  These WBAI broadcasts reflect an awareness that women’s experiences are shaped not only by gender, but also by race, sexuality, class, and other identities. Programs frequently highlighted the distinct challenges faced by women of color, lesbian women, and working-class women, challenging a single, unified view of womanhood. In this way, the collection captures early, evolving conversations about overlapping systems of inequality and what would later be defined as intersectionality. Recurring radio programs featured in this collection include Everywomanspace, The Lesbian Show, Women’s Consciousness Raising Hour, Velvet Sledgehammer, Women’s Studies, More Than Half the World, and Seeing Red, among others.  These broadcasts provide background for understanding the intersection of feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, and the cultural movements of the 1970s.
