Professor Siodmak sandbox (draft page) for GESS 2900 Fall 2020.

Copied from the page: Feminist bookstore

The call for more diverse types of feminist and lesbian spaces took place in-part because queer businesses and locations for community building were few and far between, with the notable exception of the gay bar scene. Even within explicitly LBGT(lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans) spaces lesbians were ostracized, in addition to the broader societal discrimination which they faced. Feminist bookstores were created in part to combat this homophobia and lesbophobia, in response to the lack of safe spaces for lesbians and bisexual women.
