Thank you for joining us on October 13th at 6:00 PM EST for "It's a Lot Like Falling in Love: Lesbian Publishing in the '70s, '80s, '90s, and Beyond," a virtual roundtable with a distinguished panel of participants focusing on lesbian-feminist literary communities. Panelists Stephanie Andrea Allen, Cheryl Clarke, Katherine V. Forrest, Joan Nestle, and Barbara Smith, in a discussion moderated by Julie R. Enszer, the panelists discuss the books, passions, and times that shaped the lesbian print movement.

This event was co-sponsored by the Lesbian Herstory Archives and the Program in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Florida State University.

As the home of Naiad Press, Inc. for twenty years, Tallahassee, Florida, was a hotbed of lesbian publishing. The LGBT Oral History Project of North Florida at Florida State University and the current exhibition at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts restores some of the storied histories of Naiad Press. Naiad's work was part of a larger blossoming of lesbian-feminist publications—books, periodicals, broadsides, and more—around the United States. This publishing work brought lesbian-feminist voices to their communities and the broader U.S. reading public. Explore this exciting period in lesbian-feminist literary communities with a distinguished panel of participants in the movement and print culture scholars.

The exhibition "It's A Lot Like Falling in Love: Legacies of Naiad Press in the Tallahassee Lesbian Community" is currently on view at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts until October 29th, 2022. The oral history collection can be accessed at diginole.lib.fsu.edu. The PEN & Inc project site can be viewed at lgbtoralhistory.create.fsu.edu/naiadpress.
