This exhibit is a collaboration between Jennifer Hathaway and the Colorado LGBTQ+ History Project. This exhibit will show womxn owned spaces in Denver from 1974-1980. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), we used sources through Colorado Historic Newspapers.
We used Big Mama Rag, a lesbian feminist newspaper from 1974-1984, and Out Front Magazine, an LGBTQ newspaper from 1976-1984 to find spaces, businesses, and events related to the community of women loving women in Denver county. This helps support Jennifer's work from 2023.
This exhibit will offer a map of these spaces, primary source base for women loving women history from 1974-1984 in Big Mama Rag, and it will offer connections to oral histories and sources for Big Mama Rag.
