Unnamed Desires is the first in-depth study of female same-sex desire in 20th-century Australia. The book explores the compelling stories of ordinary women who struggled to build lives and express their love for other women in a hostile society. Focusing on Sydney and New South Wales from 1930 to 1978, it traces the development of lesbian culture, identities, and gathering places from the interwar period to the first Mardi Gras. Drawing on major oral history interviews and archival research, Unnamed Desires offers fascinating new insights into the social and cultural history of mid-20th-century New South Wales. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO (Series: Australian History) [Subject: History, Sociology, Australian Studies, Sexual Minority Studies, Women's Studies]
