Arts and Culture: Lesbian Music and Fashion

by Pride History Group

The fashion adopted by Lesbian Feminists was a code which signified a break with patriarchy. Chris Pearce and Roni McGarrigle described what it all meant.

Lesbian performers and bands were nurtured by the gay movement’s dances and conferences in a world where straight men and the disco machine often dominated. Ludo McFerran talks about the band she performed in,The Stray Dags and The Women’s Warehouse Project. Katy O’Rourke also recalls the Women’s Warehouse and Chris Pearce talks about bands and dances in the 70s.
