As a whole, the field of lesbian history tends to disregard the importance of women's colleges as a cultural site of homosexuality, although other female homosocial spaces such as prisons, brothels, and bars have received scholarly attention. Conversely, most historians of women's colleges...

| 520 | 3 | |a As a whole, the field of lesbian history tends to disregard the importance of women's colleges as a cultural site of homosexuality, although other female homosocial spaces such as prisons, brothels, and bars have received scholarly attention. Conversely, most historians of women's colleges have chosen to ignore the undeniable and persistent presence of same-sex desire among students on their campuses. I use the knowledge of historical secondary sources to contextualize the events at Smith College, as documented within the primary sources of the Smith College Archives. By studying archival documents created by Jill Ker Conway's administration, the student records of the Lesbian Alliance, and articles from student publications, I have attempted to piece together a narrative that explores lesbian life at the college during the 1970s and 1980s. Of course, this study is not exhaustive, and represents only one perspective; mainly, one focused on the interests and experiences of the Lesbian Alliance. | |
