Lesbian Letters Issue No. 1 [&] Issue No. 2
AU$400.00 Read MoreAdd to cartHera
Toronto: Stewart Gordon Publications, 1967.Pre-Stonewall lesbian periodical (complete in two parts) published under the pseudonymous editorship of “Hera,” comprising confessional-style narratives presented as authentic letters from lesbian correspondents. Includes purportedly authentic but likely fictionalised first-person accounts of lesbian desire, seduction, and relationships, alongside an advice column attributed to “Dr. G. Klow.” Published by Stewart Gordon Publications, a Toronto and New York erotica house also responsible for editions of de Sade. The publication follows the conventions of 1960s commercial sleaze, with pseudonymous authorship and a thin clinical veneer. A relatively refined example of sensationalist lesbian-themed print culture, adopting a more polished tone while remaining within the conventions of male-oriented commercial erotica.

AU$400.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGaby [Gabrielle Antolovich]
Sydney: Fallopian Tube Press, 1974.The first two (and likely only) publications of the Sydney lesbian feminist press Fallopian Tube, featuring feminist and lesbian poetry and texts. Gabrielle Antolovich was a prominent figure in Sydney’s gay liberation and feminist movements, an early member of the Campaign Against Moral Persecution (CAMP) who, with her then-partner Sue Wills, appeared on the ABC’s landmark Chequerboard documentary in 1972 as one of the first openly lesbian couples on Australian television. Antolovich resigned from CAMP’s executive in 1974, citing sexism within the organisation, the same year these publications appeared, amid a broader shift among lesbian activists toward autonomous feminist publishing. Fallopianna is one of 100 numbered first printing copies produced in April 1974. Madness is one of 200 numbered first printing copies produced in December of the same year. Contains an erotic text by pioneering Australian feminist artist Vivienne Binns, noted as ‘the piece that no other publication would print’, along with contributions by Kerryn Higgs, Kate Jennings, and others.

A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGraham Willett; Angela Bailey; Timothy W. Jones; Sarah Rood
Melbourne: Australian Queer Archives and Heritage Victoria, 2021.“A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects was commissioned by Heritage Victoria to highlight the rich, diverse and unique history of queer communities in Victoria and to demonstrate how these communities are reflected in the places, objects and landscapes that surround us. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, sistergirl and brotherboy (LGBTIQ+) people are, and always have been, an integral part of Victorian social, political and cultural life. However, the experiences and voices of queer communities have not commonly been included in the historical record and, consequently, queer heritage has remained largely invisible. This report identifies 100 places, objects and collections that have specific and unique meaning to Victorias contemporary queer communities. Identifying and exploring the meaning of these places, objects and collections to members of the LGBTIQ+ communities who have suggested them adds depth and richness to Victorias history and heritage. It also makes visible the stories and experiences of communities that have, until recently, been ignored and at times actively persecuted.” (publisher’s blurb)
