This is interesting, particularly in the context of the recent flurry of studies of Virago Press, Lucy Delap, Feminist Business Praxis and Spare Rib Magazine, in what I see is a themed journal issue on feminist publishing, which appears to be Open Access, right-on, sisters! and also to included work on some of the UK feminist publishers that weren't Virago. Have a slight niggle about the Spare Rib article in that it doesn't mention that it was an early adopter in providing mail-order sources of vibrators, but I am not sure how long that went on for - I am not sure the early suppliers were entirely right-on and okay...

While that is open access, yay, yay, while this is a meritorious project, Introducing Queer Pasts: A New Digital History Platform, it does seem to be something you have to have membership of a relevant library or a subscription to actually to access. SIGH.

Lo, I am a figure from a bygone day, unhonoured and unsung... Wot, me, miffed? (yes) The joy (and frustration) of sex research. Talk to me! Talk to meeee! I have been doing this for nearly 40 years!

[T]wo statements, made 100 years apart, relay the words of women apprehended for their supposedly immoral and criminal sexual behavior. More there for this kind of thing than Yet Another History of Prostitution Since The Dawn of History...
