“The less that women are visible as a research subject, the less we are likely to learn about lesbians.”
Bonnie J. Morris, The Disappearing L: Erasure of Lesbian Spaces and Culture

“Right now, many female activists in their forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties are gazing thoughtfully into the glowing embers of lesbian culture. For us, this is still an active campfire where we gather and warm ourselves; one which, we hope, will not fade away into forgotten ash, but instead retain hot coals to stoke new fires. Such images of heat and spark have always served to symbolize shifts in leadership; think of that other fire-based metaphor, the passing of the torch - presumably, to a next generation. What does it mean if that next generation is disdainful of the torch, welcomes its dousing, or lacks the data or the will to learn how it was lit and carried forward in the first place?”
Bonnie J Morris, The Disappearing L: Erasure of Lesbian Spaces and Culture

“Grace O’Malley had plundered, married, remarried, defeated men, acted as chieftain of a clan, supposedly hidden nine tons of accumulated treasure, and was still raiding at the age of seventy in an era when many women didn’t live to see forty as housewives”
Bonnie J. Morris, Sappho's Bar and Grill
