Ask No Man Pardon by Elsa Gidlow

Ask No Man Pardon

The Philosophical Significance of Being Lesbian

Elsa Gidlow

In 1973 she published a manifesto, Ask No Man Pardon: The Philosophical Significance of Being Lesbian, in which she defined the lesbian as by nature a ‘virgin, androgynous, priestess, dedicated to the GoddessÂ… a daughter of the Amazons.’

Gidlow published the first openly lesbian volume of poetry in the US. She lived at the Druid Heights Artists Retreat in Mill Valley in her final years.
