- Summary:
- Two thousand private snapshots hidden away for over fifty years reveal the rich history of Chicago's working class butch/fem life in the pre-Stonewall era. Spanning four decades, from the 1930s to the early 1970s, the snapshots provide a rare look at a vanished and vibrant lesbian culture: images of lovers and friends as they played, posed, serially switched partners, worked, partied, drank, and aged.
