50s photos and pulp novels!

Some cool relevant things I've seen online:

  • A collection of lesbian pulp novels from the 50s and 60s, including pictures of the covers, summaries, and excerpts (nsfw)
  • A collection of photographs from Casa Susanna, a "1950s transvestite hideaway"
  • Also here is an excerpt from the book Radical Relations: Lesbian Mothers, Gay Fathers, and Their Children in the United States since World War II. The excerpt is about, in the 50s and 60s, "lesbian mothers raising children in lesbian-headed households [who] also had to worry about ex-husbands using their lesbianism to take custody of the children...In 1958, Vera Martin met and fell in love with Kay, a Japanese American woman who had come to the United States at the end of the Second World War after marrying an African American serviceman."
