description
City of Sisterly and Brotherly Love offers a fresh take on the history of gay and lesbian communities in the pre-Stonewall era. Arguing that gay and lesbians should be studied together rather than apart, Stein examines the everyday resistance that took shape in the urban geography of Philadelphia. Based in part on archives of LGBTQ media, newspapers, and over forty oral histories, Stein shows a vibrant gay and lesbian urban center outside New York or San Francisco.
