Season 4: Episode 11: Martha Shelley

from Making Gay History | LGBTQ Oral Histories from the Archive · host Eric Marcus

Brooklyn-born Martha Shelley was a rebel. She didn’t like being told what to do, wear, or say. She hated the lesbian bars, and even after joining the Daughters of Bilitis she strained against the self-imposed limits of the homophile movement. All along, the 1960s revolution called to her.
