The Lady List: For Ladies Who Like Ladies

The Lady List is an independent online resource dedicated to providing comprehensive and up-to-date information on events and gatherings happening around Ireland for gay, lesbian, bi and transgender /gid women.

Why was it set up?

German lesbian-feminist history site, including biographical sketches and a list of German-language films with lesbian actors in the cast or showing relationships between women.

"Every social group needs access to its own history. Knowledge of our past gives us a cultural roots and a heritage with models and experiences to learn from and emulate or choose not to follow. Lesbians have been deprived of virtually all knowledge of our past. This is deliberate since it keeps us invisible, isolated and powerless. [...] the suppression of lesbianism extends beyond the control of contemporary images and information to include control of historical knowledge [...]."2

Sappho organised meetings in a Chepstow public house with speakers including Anna Raeburn, Mikki Doyle from the Morning Star, Maureen Duffy who read her poetry, and the barrister Elizabeth Woodcraft who spoke on the rights of lesbian mothers.
