Join us at the opening of this new exhibit at Gerber Hart Library and Archives, co-sponsored by the Chicago Women’s History Center, featuring Dr. A. Finn Enke, Professor of History and Gender and Women’s Studies at University of Wisconsin. “Lavender Women and Killer Dykes” reflects the creative and dynamic culture that lesbian feminists created in Chicago during the 1960s - 80s, During this time Chicago Lesbians organized community centers, music festivals, bookstores, newspapers, publishing presses, health centers, literary societies, coffee houses and bars that created spaces that centered women’s issues. CWHC helped develop this exhibit and lent documents, photographs and artifacts from our collection that are displayed here for the first time.
