Closets Are For Clothes
by Rachel Cook (Author)
Closets are for Clothes: A History of Queer Australia
Some of the first white Australians were lesbians and gay men. They came on convict ships or as free settlers and forged a colourful history. Featuring a broad sweep, dating from the time of the first settlers, through to the suffragette movement, post World War II, the activism of the 70s, the effects of AIDs, and the continuing fight for equal rights, this book helps to link today's queer Australia to its earliest recorded history.
