They founded the first lesbian rights organization in US history, the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB), in 1955. Beginning as a small social club, the group grew into a national network with local chapters. The DOB and other organizations provided a foundation for both the lesbian and gay rights movement and the women's liberation movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their efforts ushered in a new era of openness, media visibility, and political engagement for the LGBT community. This collection provides extensive information on the founding and growth of the movement through the lens of the Daughters of Bilitis and The Ladder, DOB's monthly magazine. Documents include materials on DOB's beginnings and development; annual organizational histories published in The Ladder; early meeting minutes; correspondence; records of local chapters; presentations to gay rights organizations; membership data; and manuscripts unavailable elsewhere. The collection also contains a complete run of The Ladder (1956-1972) which began as a mimeographed newsletter and grew into an internationally circulated magazine with thousands of subscribers. Providing one of the few media outlets produced by lesbians and for lesbians, the periodical challenged misogyny as well as homophobia. 000883684 60010 $$aLyon, Phyllis. 000883684 60010 $$aMartin, Del. 000883684 61020 $$aDaughters of Bilitis. 000883684 650_0 $$aSexual minorities. 000883684 650_0 $$aGay rights. 000883684 650_0 $$aLesbians. 000883684 650_0 $$aHomosexuality. 000883684 650_0 $$aGay liberation movement. 000883684 650_0 $$aFeminism. 000883684 7102_ $$aGay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Historical Society. 000883684 830_0 $$aArchives of Sexuality & Gender: LGBTQ History and Culture since 1940. 000883684 852__ $$bebk 000883684 85640 $$3Gale Archives of Sexuality & Gender$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://gdc.galegroup.com/gdc/artemis/collection/actionWin?&catId=GALE%7CQVXBNY672926898&action=e&windowstate=normal&mode=view&prodId=AHSI&p=AHSI&userGroupName=usi$$zOnline Access 000883684 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:883684$$pGLOBAL_SET 000883684 980__ $$aEBOOK 000883684 980__ $$aBIB 000883684 982__ $$aEbook 000883684 983__ $$aOnline
