 Newton: "Just oe of the Boys: Lesbians in Cherry Grove, 1960-1988"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Although she begins with a brief description of the first group, the “ladies” who came to the Grove from 1945-1955, Newton spends the majority of her essay describing those that followed, the “dykes” who came in the 1960’s and the “postfeminists” who came in the mid-1980’s.
She demonstrates that each “generation” of lesbians who came to the Grove differed from one another in regards to class and politics, and moreover each had their own unique relationships to the space of the Grove as well as its other inhabitants.
This class disparity meant that the “dykes” worked in the Grove whereas the “ladies” had not, and also that the “dykes” were not as readily able to buy Grove housing as the “ladies.” A second main difference between the “ladies” and the “dykes” was their relationship to the Grove’s gay male community.
