Have you had a chance to see Donna Gottschalk’s portraits of 1970s lesbians? “I had a portent that most of the people that I was taking pictures of wouldn’t live, wouldn’t make it. They were poor. There were no safety nets,” she explained. “At the time, in the 1970s, (my work) wasn’t happy-happy stuff. It wasn’t what people wanted, I think, or needed. The lesbian community needed to see (that) we’re not all miserable; you can thrive.”
