This means each and - every '.)ne as an individual, not as cliques. As a member of the finance C'.)mmittee : r helped plan the Homophile H'.)stel, hoping a large undertaking, as it was, would bring some esprit de corps to '.)Ur group. I felt it would insure our W'.)rking together in spite of any personal or p'.)litical differences. we who were actively involved did get this feeling and also the great satisfaction, after it was over, that our effo r ts were n'.)t in vain. HH was a success in all but one aspect. rt was a failu r e in what I most desired--a real joint effort. where were the rest of usy our guests, thank God for them, far outnumbered us.

Description An account of the resource <p>See <a href="https://historyproject.omeka.net/items/show/183">Daughters of Bilitis Collection Guide</a><br /><br />The Daughters of Bilitis (DOB) was a lesbian organization founded in 1955 in San Francisco by Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon for the purpose of self-knowledge and self-acceptance, public education, involvement in research, and lobbying to change the laws criminalizing homosexuality. Starting primarily as a private social group for lesbians focused on the integration of the lesbian into mainstream society, the aims of the group shifted during the 1960s due to the changing political, social and economic conditions of the decade. The DOB took up political activism to lobby for the rights of lesbians, promoting individualism with a decreased emphasis on societal conformity. During the 1960s many regional chapters were chartered around the country and globally, continuing the organization even after the closing of the San Francisco national office in 1978.<br /><br />The Boston chapter was founded in 1969 during a period when many homophile organizations were forming in Boston. Early leaders of the Boston DOB included Lois Johnson, Shari Barden, and Laura Robin/McMurry, who were prominent promoters of the group and its activities.<br /><br />The Boston chapter published a newsletter, originally entitled <em>Maiden Voyage</em>, until 1971 when it was renamed <em>Focus</em>. The publication runs from December 1969 to October 1983.<br /><br />See also: <a href="https://historyproject.omeka.net/collections/show/50">Daughters of Bilitis Oral History Project</a></p> Document A resource containing textual data.
