Lesbian fiction flourished in the 1970s to early 1990s, due to the proliferation of feminist publishers. Onlywomen Press, run entirely by lesbians, started in 1974. The Press operated with a collective, of which I was a member for a short time. Virago started in 1973, followed by Women’s Press, 1978, and Sheba in 1980.
