Add to SetSummary
Often capturing private moments in close quarters, Donna Gottshalk's photographs depict the quiet activism of being queer in the 1960s and 1970s. This image, titled "Sleepers, Limerick, PA," depicts two women in bed, with a "Lesbians Unite!" sign hanging on the wall. Many people involved in organizing feminist and gay rights groups hung this image--turned into a poster--in their homes.
