Silver Threads E04 - Joan Nestle - The Will to Remember

Silver Threads

Hares and Hyenas Anniversary podcast

Silver Threads is a celebration of 25 years of the Hares and Hyenas Bookstore in Fitzroy Melbourne, supported by the UNESCO City of Literature Known Bookshops fund, in association with the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives, and in partnership with Melbourne Library Service.

Episode 4 - Joan Nestle, The Will to Remember

WARNING - the following program contains explicit content and themes

Proud 'out' lesbian, spokeswoman for butch-femme desire, and a tireless freedom fighter, Joan laid the groundwork for the lesbian, gay and transgender movements of today by claiming her right to her own sexual identity at a time when to do so made her a figure of controversy.

Joan reads an excerpt from 'A Fragile Union' titled "The Will to Remember: My Journey with the Lesbian Herstory Archive"

and two shorter pieces from 'A Restricted Country'.
