The Gateways Club, at the heart of 1960s swinging London, was one
of the few places where lesbian women could meet openly. This book
tells its story, from its rise in the 1950s to its closure in 1985,
as a secret world of escape--new clientele often found the club
only by following likely members to its anonymous exterior on the
Kings Road, Chelsea. Celebrities, straight and gay alike, from
Diana Dors to Dusty Springfield, relished its bohemian atmosphere,
and the club reached a wider audience when it was featured as a
backdrop in the 1968 film "The Killing of Sister George." Included
are interviews with 80 of its members, famous and not so famous.
Their accounts--humorous, tragic, and erotic--reveal how life has
changed during the half century since the Gateways began.
