The Australasian Lesbian Movement (ALM), Australia's first openly homosexual political group, formed at the end of 1969, as the Australian chapter of the American lesbian group, Daughters of Bilitis ...(DOB). It attracted the first of those who wanted change, who responded to the exciting political times. As one of its members rightly claims, the fact that people are freer today is because of the work of groups like ALM; they were the catalysts for change. In rapidly changing times, many groups founder and ALM, with its combination of political and social aims, was no exception. Based on access to newly acquired newsletters and interviews with members of the group, as well as earlier studies, this analysis of the ALM is supported.
The Women’s Warehouse (1979–1981) provided a short-lived and unofficial headquarters for the social and cultural activity of the Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM) in Sydney, Australia. This paper ...writes an introductory history to the Women’s Warehouse through the case study of the Women’s Warehouse Screenprinters, one of the most signifi¬cant collectives to operate in the space. This approach allows for a focused understanding of how feminist ideologies were interpreted and implemented by members of the house via, for example, collective ownership, group authorship, commitment to local community concerns and the non-sexist representation of women. The Women’s Warehouse was an unproclaimed, yet undeniably, lesbian feminist space. This paper begins research into the feminist politics, presentation and perception of the house.
