Using a rich array of oral histories and archival sources, Tomboys
and bachelor girls provides the first detailed academic study of
lesbian identity and culture in post-war Britain. Described by
psychiatrists as immature and neurotic, and widely ignored as taboo
by mainstream society, lesbians nevertheless recognised and
accepted their same-sex desire and sought out women like
themselves. Challenging the conventional picture of the post-war
decades as years of austerity and conservative femininity, this
book traces the emergence of a vibrant lesbian social scene in
Britain, centred on the metropolitan nightclubs of post-war London,
but also developing across the country, through lesbian magazines
and social organisations. This fascinating book brings to life the
rich history of post-war lesbian culture for the scholarly and
general reader alike. -- .
