  glbtq >> literature >> American Literature: Lesbian, 1900-1969
The year 1900 marks the fin-de-siècle, as the turn from the nineteenth century to the twentieth witnessed the pathologizing of homosexuality by the medical profession, while 1969 heralds the Stonewall rebellion, widely received as the originary moment of the gay and lesbian liberation movements.
Literature that promised entry into an outcast world of "twilight" love, these novels were, as Lillian Faderman remarks, "generally cautionary tales: 'moral' literature that warned females that lesbianism was sick or evil and that if a woman dared to love another woman she would end up lonely and suicidal."
By the late 1960s, lesbian literature had been tremendously emboldened by the gay and women's liberation movements and, in contrast to these tales of the outcast, offered more and more stories of a proud and affirmative community bent on changing public discourse and conventional society's reception of lesbian life.
