Radical Feminism and LGBTQ History: the Martin Duberman Fellowship Lecture

2017–2018 Martin Duberman Fellow, Marcia M. Gallo, discusses the underappreciated impact of feminism on LGBTQ activism in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

From consciousness raising to mass mobilizations, from Radicalesbians to Gay Academics, the influence of feminism on queer activism was felt not just in New York City but around the country. Gallo, a visiting scholar from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, will be joined by special guests for an evening of lecture, conversation, images from the Library's collections, and more.

The Martin Duberman Visiting Scholar program fosters excellence in LGBT studies by providing funds for scholars to do research in the Library’s preeminent LGBT historical collections. 

FIRST COME, FIRST SEATED
For free events, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time, and seats may become available at that time. A standby line will form one hour before the program.

PRESS 
Please send all press inquiries (photo, video, interviews, audio-recording, etc.) at least 24-hours before the day of the program to Ayofemi Kirby at ayofemikirby@nypl.org.
