Report on Lesbianism from 1965

Available for over a year

Reporter Wendy Jones talks to women who live 'underground' as lesbians and to those who cohabit openly with a female partner. Jones interviews a psychiatrist and a member of the Minorities Research Group, both of whom advocate rights for lesbians at a time when their sexuality was seen as a 'problem' to be 'cured'. The Minorities Research Group was formed in 1963 and was the first group to advocate the interests of lesbians openly in the UK. It acted as a body that supported lesbians and offered social and educational opportunities.
