Daring To Find Our Names

The Search for Lesbigay Library History

James V. Carmichael

Outlines theoretical and methodological problems in documenting lesbigay history generally (and specifically, the history of lesbigay professionals, particularly those in the ‘feminized’ professions like librarianship). This book will appeal especially to historians of traditionally underrepresented populations (women, Native Americans, African Americans, lesbigays). In particular, chapters on methodological problems in lesbigay research, separatism, and biases created by gender bias will pull together for the first time integrated feminist/radical perspectives on library history. The authors call for more responsible treatment of such subjects as the ‘outing’ of historical figures, and conversely, a more open approach to research on ‘gender outlaws’ in the workplace.
