Description
Broadcast with unknown series title, hosted by Linda Daniels and Marcia Danab, inscribed title “Lesbians + The Law". Jean O’Leary and Eleanor Cooper are interviewed regarding their work with New York Women’s Lobby advocating for the repeal of the Sodomy Law, and appealing to listeners to join for an upcoming lobby day addressing the sodomy laws, maternity disability, childcare, and household workers.
