- Title
Wages Due Lesbians: Visibility and Feminist Organizing in 1970s Canada.
- Authors
Rousseau, Christina
- Abstract
In this article I look at the emergence of Wages Due Lesbians, a lesbian group that was part of the Marxist feminist group Wages for Housework in Canada. In presenting Wages Due as a historical case study, I re-visit the notion of 'visibility' in relation to lesbian motherhood in Canada in the 1970s through an examination of struggles for welfare, child custody, and against violence. Through this case study I present the shifting ideas regarding respectability and homosexuality from the 1970s to today.
