Description
Why did ladies frequent women's clubs and why did dubious wives frequent the ladies clubs? How and where did lesbians get to know each other in the 1920s? Were they - in Nazi Germany - pursued as systematically as gays? Were Lesbians just victims? We report on Catholic lesbian couples and gay subculture as well as on the first attempts at a definition of lesbian in 1900. Possible pairs are formed and the original text read out.
