The Feminist Lecture Program are excited to announce a brand new collaboration with the Vagina Museum. The same amazing online weekly feminist content you expect from us, now hosted by the world’s only bricks and mortar Vagina Museum. Eleanor is no stranger to FLP, so we’re desperately looking forward to what we know will be an amazing new lecture. This time, join her as she unpicks the history and significance of lesbian fashion over the last 200 years. This is a winding story - one that can’t be easily pinned down. So much of lesbian history has been deliberately forgotten or misremembered, but placing a microscope over the role of clothing and self-expression in these communities might just help breathe some life back into it. During the session, we will hop from Anne Lister, a lesbian heiress in the early 19th century, to the lesbian activist group ‘Lavender Menace’ in the 1970s, taking some pit stops along the route and after. Eleanor will set the scene for a revival of lesbian fashion history, leading us into discussions around what this can teach us – whether that be in the context of broader fashion history, LGBTQ+ history, or the situation of lesbians today. Through artefacts of paintings and photographs, letters and diaries, we will gain a closer insight into lesbian fashion, and how these sources played an important role both in their own time, as well as today. Crucially, this lecture is built upon foundations of inclusivity, this time taking a moment to specifically focus on lesbian (fashion) history. Biphobia or Transphobia has no place within this discussion and will not be tolerated.
