The Rise and Fall of Lesbian Nation
An Interview with Dr. Lillian Faderman
Original Air Date: Thursday, Sept. 3, 2020
The Calgary Institute for the Humanities Second Annual LGBTQ2S+ Lecture presents Dr. Lillian Faderman.
This topical lecture, hosted during Calgary Pride, will examine why lesbian feminism was so important to women in the 1970s and ‘80s. In diving into this topic with Dr. Lillian Faderman, you’ll gain a deeper understanding into how the movement emerged; what the movement did for women and the controversy over TERF ("trans-exclusionary radical feminists" and the trans issue) and the complex reasons that account for its fall.
