Gay Birmingham Remembered

I was a real lesbian

1984

Realising she needed to meet more women, Mary joined a mixed straight/lesbian women's writing group, which met in Tindal Street and subsequently led to the formation of Tindal Press. She also mixed on the fringes of the [womens' liberation movement,] which at the time was experiencing friction between socialist feminists and lesbian separatists. Mary felt she was a ‘real’ lesbian, not one making a political choice.
