Galvanizing Literature: Lesbian Pulp Fiction and the Cold War Gay Rights Movement

The paperback publishing industry—popularly known as the pulp fiction industry– began to publish paperback novels with lesbian romantic and sexual themes in 1950. Lesbian pulp fiction became a popular genre between 1950 and 1969 and fell under scrutiny by United States censorship committees during the height of the Cold War. The books were a source of hope and consolation for a generation of lesbian and bisexual women, and this paper attempts to highlight the significance of lesbian pulp fiction in popular culture, especially in accordance with the gay liberation movement prior to the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
