The lesbian revolution: lesbian feminism in the UK, 1970-1990 (1st)

'The Lesbian Revolution' argues that lesbian feminists were a vital force in the Women's Liberation Movement (WLM).

They did not just play a fundamental role in the important changes wrought by second wave feminism, but created a powerful revolution in lesbian theory, culture and practice.

Yet this lesbian revolution is undocumented. The book shows that lesbian feminists were founders of feminist institutions such as resources for women survivors of men's violence, including refuges and rape crisis centres, and that they were central to campaigns against this violence.
