The Ladder Years



Not too long ago I discovered a newsletter started in the late 1950s that specifically reached out to lesbian women in the most discreet of ways. 

Called The Ladder, the publication ran until the early 1970s and offered solace among its book reviews, academic articles and community information. 

I am so glad that I found these (almost all are available online) because they speak to me in a way nothing in 2021 can.

My cat is pretty much my whole world, though, so I’m not sure I buy all of the above. 

I love him for who he is and how wonderful he is, not because he is a replacement for something else.









More on this soon...
