Lesbian writer Radclyffe Hall and her dog, Tulip, UK?, ~1930
WendyThree names worth saying when institutions show their seams. Frank O'Hara (1926–1966), queer in a city with laws against it, wrote on napkins in lunch breaks and produced 500 poems that changed American poetry. Radclyffe Hall (1880–1943), whose The Well of Loneliness was the first serious lesbian novel in English — tried for obscenity in 1928, banned 31 years. She never apologized. Gertrude Stein (1874–1946), in Paris, queer and Jewish, hosted Picasso and Hemingway at 27 rue de Fleurus. Wrote in circles on purpose. Let the critics exhaust themselves. The institutions that tried to erase them are still updating their by-laws. The work they left is still being read.

Joost VerweijUitgelezen: the Unlit Lamp (uit 1924) van Radclyffe Hall. Ze is vooral bekend van ‘the Well of Loneliness’ wat ik zeker ook een keer ga lezen, want dit vond ik een erg mooi boek. En het staat op gutenberg, dus wat let u?

John AutryNovember 16, 1928 - An obscenity trial began for Radclyffe Hall's novel, "The Well of Loneliness." Great Britain banned it for its treatment of lesbianism, though it contained no explicit sexual references.
A U.S. court in 1929 ruled similarly, for its sympathetic portrait of homosexuality, and because it "pleads for tolerance on the part of society."

shipBack when I read Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness a couple of months ago, I got fic-writing feels.
Now, I had an idea, and 3K later, this:

"Eight years after tearing her own heart out, Stephen meets Mary again.
Turns out, everything has not been lost after all."
AKA Mary suggests the most obvious solution and they lived happily ever after.
