Queen City of the South : gay and lesbian Melbourne
2011
Book
Queer City of the South: gay and lesbian Melbourne presents a history that will be new to many readers. Using archives, remembrance, experience, and reflection, the various contributors bring new insights to our knowledge and understanding of Melbourne. The articles in this special issue of the La Trobe Journal cover both historical and contemporary subjects, ranging from the relationship between the two female pastoralists, Anne Drysdale and Caroline Newcomb, to an account of how museums and libraries are now dealing with LGBT related material.
