The first indepth study of female samesex desire in twentiethcentury Australia, Unnamed Desires explores the compelling stories of ordinary women who struggled to build lives and express their love for other women in a hostile society. Focusing on Sydney and country NSW in the midtwentiethcentury (19301978), it traces the development of lesbian culture, identities and material spaces from the interwar period to the first Mardi Gras. Drawing on major oral history interviews, conducted by the author, and archival research, this book offers fascinating new insights into the social and cultural history of midtwentiethcentury NSW.
Rebecca Jennings is ARC Future Fellow in the Department of Modern History at Macquarie University.
